Read SuperBase tables
I have several SuperBase tables (*.sbd, *.sbf, *.sb!) that I need to work on using Microsoft Access. Are there any converters available to open the tables in Access?

Sorry to have misled you. I don't have SuperBase, I only have the tables and need to read them in Access.
Thanks, but No thanks for the clarification, I am at total lost now :o(
So you have a Table done with SuperBase and want to read it/convert it to Access Table?

Sorry Robert, I re-read your initial question, and it is very clear, my mistake.
Can you zip one of these tables and email them to me so that I can have a look at them,
you can click on my name to see my profile, where you can find my email.

Well Rob, Good news and bad news:
The Good News is:
The property is a particularly attractive Grade II listed family home located in the‚ heart of Bellingham
This is read from 1 of the files you sent.
So Yes you can retrieve the Data,
The Bad news:
It needs manual cleaning up (I didn't go deep in) with a person who knows what the fields are and they should look like.
All you do is, right click on the file, open it with Notepad and you will see the data.
If you want to make this data Access Ready, then
Seperate the fields with a special character that doesn't exist in the file Like : or ; or |
Seperate the Records with a carriage return (the Enter key for the New line)
This way your data will be ready to be imported to Access as text, and can be stored in Tables.
Let me know if I can help further.
