Thanks John & Doyce for taking a look.
I did install access 97 & you're right, it wouldn't read these files. I also downloaded various BTrieve convertors & couldn't get any to work.
I've just tried Flex ODBC, but can't set up a ODBC source - it's asking for a FILELIST.cfg file for my data, which I don't have.
I think I've probably run out of possibilites?
