Hi, Cindy<br>
<br>
Wondering the same thing, myself. Could be a custom Access db
renamed to Accession. Check the file extension. If Access, it'll be
mdb.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone have experience with
software called “Accession”? A collection on campus
databased objects on an iMac in the 1990s using
“Accession” software and now has no access to the
information. I’m not familiar with the program. The
collection manager currently uses Past Perfect for a
different collection and would like help figuring out
how to retrieve the data from Accession for use in
Past Perfect. Any ideas?</p>
