William - I would suggest a tool for the conversion.
There are several out there -
This one is good -
http://hibase.virtualave.net/dbfview.htm

will convert to 4 different file types.

ACCESS ?? yikes - why bother?
Why not use a real tool like Visual FoxPro ?
Much easier to code and can scale for multi-user much easier than Access.
mondo regards [Bill]
