Yes you can ex****t the data tables from Access. However if Access has
been
used as a proper database with mutliple tables having one-to-many or
many-to-one relation****ps, together with queries, re****ts, macros, or
Visual
Basic code then you may have a major job on your hands.
It is probably fair to say that if it only contains a single data table
then
Access was an inappropriate program to use in the first place - Excel
would
have been adequate.
