Yes, saw this, but it didn't seem right for collection object.
Cindy, what was being databased?<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi All: Crowd sourcing? Maybe put it in
Dropbox or google cloud share (via gmail) an let folks that
have Macs have a look at it if not too large. If it a run
time application it might run on older Macs (like I have
here). I now use FileMaker on the Mac. As far as getting
data out, there is probably an export or convert utility
somewhere in the program.

<div>I wrote a program in 4D (4th Dimension) for the Mac

other was Catalog. But as far as I know it didn't go
beyond a few museums out here. <br>

<div>Cindy,</div>
<div>As far as I know there is no MS Access on a
Mac-yet-unless you are running the Mac as a PC. If you
notice the MS Office suite for the Mac contains no
Access as one of the programs included in the bundle,
unlike the PC version. There is an Access - like
program within OpenOffice which I have heard had poor
import/export tools. I do not know that program but it
could account for your colleague's problem.
OpenOffice went away in 2011 but I believe there are
successors. If you are certain it is MS Access the
file endings may be .mdb or .aaccdb- depending on the
version of Access you have been using or updated to
since 1990's.</div>
<div>Best of luck</div>

<div>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="ecxMsoNormal">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>
