    Title:
    import a Microsoft Access Database
    Post:
    Coming from Windows XP (sorry) to Mac: I have left on the PC a Database of my collection of old photo-cameras with many different informations of each item. Will it be possible to import that gatabase to BENTO?

      Thank you for your post.

      Currently, Bento will only import comma-separated values (CSV) text files.  Although I have never used Access, I know users who have exported to a CSV text file, so you should be able to get the data from Access into Bento.

      If you have photographs in the Access database, you will need to save them as JPG and then reimport them manually into the appropriate records within Bento.

      If you have not downloaded a trial version of Bento, do it now and try it.  If you run into any difficulties, just contact me again, and I'll work with you to get the data imported.
