[AccessD] OT: Filemaker field names

Thanks, Jim and Mark.

What I ended up doing is installing Filemaker 7 demo here.  I can convert
the Filemaker 5 to 7.  However, the exports still don't export field names.
I found I could export to dBase format and get to it from there.  I don't
understand why Filemaker doesn't export field names to text.
