I have a database file from a really old database program. The only name I've heard attached to the database program is Q and A. &nbsp;So, I've got this Q/A database file, with an extension of .DTF, and I need to open it to import it's data to Microsoft Access.<br />
When I open the file in a text editor, it is of course all binary coded, but the first line is readable and says:<br />
&quot;Symantec Touchbase Database&quot;, if that is of any help. &nbsp;I try to import it now in Access, but it doesn't recogize the database type. &nbsp;Is there some way I can set up a new ODBC for it or something like this?<br />
<br />
I'm not very familiar with ODBC, so if I need to use this, I'll need some easy to follow instructions.<br />
<br />
Any help you can give will be appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />

Opening an old database.

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.
