Hi,

I am using a program which produces a file called info1 (no extention).

I know that it can be seen via Accsess, but I do not have Access.

When trying to import this file to Excel - I get gibberish

How can I proccess this data file in Excel vithout having or converting it first in Access?

Is there any freeware utility to make Access files compatible with Excel?

Thank you in advance,

Eli

Press Ctrl+End to move to what Excel thinks is the last used cell.
Have you tried putting on an extension, and trying again? (.txt, .dat or .csv may be good bets). Alternatively, do you know what sort of file the program is generating, or is it something proprietary?
