Beware, John - one thing is to convert your own MS Access databases/programs using (others) automation tools - and quite opposite thing is to convert *others* MS Access databases/programs - the fact is that such others databases/programs are very often a real mess - cleaning-up others mess should be very well paid job. Ask them full quote for the whole conversion project, and do not let them to be paid (by their customer) immediately after their tool will do its "dirty" work, and you'll be left(faced) with manual conversion work - you both should be paid only when the whole conversion project will be successfully completed. Or paid in clearly defined installments.

I may in fact try to do that. It basically would be me learning the program and then performing the conversion for their paying customers, apparently for a cut. John W.
