[mikeburg]

I need to find a way to convert Dbase IV code to MicroSoft Access VBA code.

Thanks,

I take it you mean in a automated way.
Access is event driven Dbase is procedure driven I don't know any tools personally that would do the conversion.

Not any 'shrink wrappe' packages, nut an approach which could get the 80% (from ye olde8020 rule) would be to build a search and replace parse engine. Db "language" has itrs roots in "BASIC", so some parts (keywords) will transpose w/o change, while others (esp reports) will require a complete re-do. Also, comnsider that db is a flat file type of db, where there is no concept of relational functionality or SQL, so a HUGE part of db code is just not relevant and -while it CAN be converted- is quite a waste, as much of the code in the flat file model is to "do" the relationships 'mechanically'.
