If it weren't for the need to alter data during the port I would try
something like Helen's suggestion. Doing this via SQL would be much
faster.

I may investigate using Topaz as an intermediate file. Topaz has a
Peek method that allows you to blast through records. Much faster
than Access. I suppose I could export the Access tables to dBase if
it was fast, and then use Topaz to read them rather than Access.

Does anyone know if FB can read dBase files as external tables?
