A client of mine has been using an old MS Access Database/app that I initially wrote for him well over 10 years ago. A few years back, we converted to a newer version of Access to enable the app to run on newer computers. Recently, the app starting giving him "corrupt" errors that can't be corrected via the compact/repair tool. It looks like the most pragmatic solution may be to convert the data to a more open platform, and then rewrite the app.
About five years ago, I converted a small Access database I had to SQLite via a free conversion tool I found online. With the searching I've done so far, I haven't found anything for free that will convert his data. There are some tables with a relatively large # of records, so "free" might not be a practical option.
The first "trial" I tried was something called FullConvert, which wanted $699 for the pay version. I figure I can probably do better than that. I found something else called DBConvert, which if it actually works will be acceptable at $149.
Anyone have any experience/recommendations for this sort of thing?
