Hi Mick
File Maker Pro can export straight into csv files. These can be read by
many different programs, including Excel and Access.
Be aware of one importand issue however, File Maker Pro can contain
repeated values in a field. If you export these fields to csv then all
repeats will end up in a single field, separated by a single control
character (I seem to remember it is control-K). You will have to split
these fields in separate occurrences (or even tables).
Hope this helps,

Hello chaps - anybody out there with (a) a facility to convert a File
Maker Pro database into something useful (MS Access or Excel) (b) the
willingness to do it for me (just a one-off)!
thanks
Mick
