Quick question. I'm helping some friends set up their filemaker database and they'd like to import they're already existing appleworks database into filemaker, but Appleworks doesnt seem to have an export option (for Tab or comma delimnated files)...

Anyone know if this is possible, or is there is a program I can use to extract the info from appleworks into a file that filemaker will import?

Thanks in advance

Just save the Appleworks database (using Save As) in ASCII format. Then drag that file onto Filemaker and a new database will be created using your fields and data. Good luck.
