import data from works 3.0 on windows 3.1
I am trying to save some files for a woman who's husband just died and left
all his business inventory in an old format. The files where created in an old DOS database program called PowerBase. I can export the files as several different formats and open them in Windows 3.1 (on the same machine). I then export them to TAB delimited txt files. The problem is when I transfer them to a "new" machine (windows XPPro) I can't open them in excel. I believe the problem is with the txt encoding type used by Works 3.0 in windows 3.1. If I open them in notepad on the XPPro machine, it appears to not read them properly either. Can anyone make a suggestion? Thanks. |
