[AccessD] DAT file

Since Clarion doesn't itself specify the file format, the file could be almost anything.  Try text first.  If that doesn't work, try another database format like dBase or bTrieve.

Hi,

It's a DAT file from a Clarion homemade program.  It's really old so I don't know much more than that.  I will try to change the extension to txt and see if I can import it.

Thanks,
