[Hidden-tech] online database

[Shel Horowitz]

Tom, I would suspect that Word (at least the pre-docx. version) could
open that old file, which means Excel might be able to as well. Either
way, you could save as Excel spreadsheet or tab-delimited table and
open it in any db you want. In the Open dialog box, the default is to
open Word documents. Change that to Open Any File.

I don't want or need to upgrade the newer version of FileMaker but cant use the old version with newer OS (go figure) but definitely need to keep the database (containing a thousand or so entries) updated and current... but I just need something very basic.
