PsiWin should convert the Access file format to EPOC "Data".

Hi

I had the same problem and I discovered the following work-around.

First, used MS Access 97 as PsiWin will not recognise any later version.

Second, the MDB file MUST contain a single table and this MUST have the same name as the file

The above si quite a serious limitation and I would consider using another EPOC database program.

Ah, that explains why I could convert from EPOC "Data" to Access and back again as long as I didn't let Access convert to Access 2000. After conversion to the 2000 format, I couldn't convert back with PsiWin.
