Basic Beginner's Question about FileMaker Pro 9 and MS Access

Expand Post »
I am new to FileMaker Pro 9 and have used MS Access a little. I am wondering if it is possible to transfer files from FileMaker Pro 9 (many files) to a web MS ACCESS database where another company where we send our data?

I come here only once a week.

Check to see if they have Microsoft Excel export and import in common.

Re: Basic Beginner's Question about FileMaker Pro 9 and MS Access

There is no direct way of importing Access files into FileMaker, not vice versa, as far as I now. If this is a one-time only thing, you could just do an excel, tab or other export. If you need to update records on a regular basis, you should probably look into using ODBC, with FileMaker Pro acting as the ODBC host.
