Hi all,

An 80 years old aquintance (former navy officer) of mine works since
perhaps 1990 (or longer) with a database containing of all kinds of
numerical and non numerical data about extrastellar astronomy in a
database program called Approach. Records in that program have (like
Excel) cell like data fields but also memo fields that can hold
unstructured text in large quantities (e.g. 300 words in one memofield).

Is it possible - and is it very difficult - to bring the Approach data to
Excel?

Can anybody explain how I could accomplish that?

TIA
