Importing an access data base from old Turbolog QSOs

Post by G3MXH »

I have imported all my old ADIF logs from HRD and N1MM+ without any problems. I have found an old Access database from Turbolog
containing QSOs logged in the 1990s .
Does anyone know of a utility which can convert an Access Database File from Turbolog to an ADIF file compatible with Log4OM .

Terry,

If you have the Access APP on your computer there are steps you can take to convert/save as a "csv" file that can then be manipulated in Excel or similar and imported as an ADIF.

But, like me, you probably don't have Access on your computer anymore.

Anyway ... here is a link to an online conversion of an Access d/b to a csv file. Read carefully in case there are any charges, but sometimes these sites let some file sizes be changed without any fees.
