www.dataaccess.com

is the dataflex website.  Visual Dataflex 8.1 is the latest release, may not
be numbered concurrently with your DOS version.  Dataflex is more popular in
Europe than USA.

Your best bet for conversion of Dataflex to Access may be in saving your
data in dBase file format.  Unfortunately, if you have a runtime version of
Dataflex rather than the developer version, you might have to contact the
author of your application for further assistance, or you could secure a
commercial file conversion program.  As I use the developer versions of data
products which generally come with conversion utilities for competitor
product file types, I can't recommend a commercial conversion program, but
you should have no problem searching the web.  If all you can find is
conversion to dBase, Excel will open a dbase (.dbf) file.  'Save As' an
Excel workbook, then use the 'Convert to MS Access' wizard in the Excel data
menu to write the table out to an access database. This will allow you to
preview the data in Excel.  If you don't need to preview, Access can open a
dbase file directly.  Just change the file type drop down list to .dbf in
the 'File, Open' dialogue.

I am working at a library, and a department is using
Dataflex 2.3b for inserting information of members.
We want to export the records of the members in
Dataflex into Microsoft Access 2000/XP.
First question, is this possible?
Second question, as there any help or support of the
software Dataflex online?
Third question, is there a way to export/convert the
records of Dataflex into a text file with comma
separator?
I have heard Dataflex 2.3b is a very old database, and
is there a new version of this software?
