Converting an access database to a text one
I need to convert an access database to a text database. How can I achieve this? Is there an aplication I can use that will handle this conversion for me?

If you are just looking to convert your access database to DB format with the "|"pipe codes, just export your database as a text file, and then choose the pipe as your delimiator. After you hit EXPORT, go to ADVANCED, then change the delimiator to | and the text qualifier to nothing. I guess you could write a mini macro for it.

Is this what you were looking for or something different?
