Export from Access 1.x (!)

[G. Telemann]

Hi Experts,

I still have some small ancient Access 1.x Databases... Which tool can
export the tables without using an ancient or newer Access Version?

TIA Georg

You should be able to read the tables for examply by MS Query (part of
Office) but you may also use VBScript for this task and read these by
programming against the DAO library that should be able to open even A1.x
files

For the next time you should not post into a german newsgroup if your
language isn't german. There are many english newsgroups to post your
questions.

Well, I don't have access 1.x database around to try, but believe you can
use access 2003 to import tables from there.

IIRC A2003 can even import Access Objects from 1.1, but may also be 2.0. But
content of tables you should be able to read even in A2007.

I just need a *fast* solution that generates a standard data format
(CSV, dBase or any other) that can be easily converted into other
non-Access formats... Is there a solution that does not require Access?

Try using Excel to open the database.

have you tried SQL Server DTS? or SSIS? or any other commercial grade
ETL tool?

Access isn't a real database; in case you didn't get that memo
