Porting from MS ACCESS

Does anyone have any suggestion on the best path to convert a fairly complicated MS ACCESS application (numerous forms, reports, queries, table and macros) to FM PRO 8? I know there are tools to convert the tables. Is there anything available to convert the forms ro anything else?

No such tools. For the tables, you don't need any tools. Just export from Access to Excel, drop the excel files on FM and FM will create the tables for you.

But for the rest (forms, queries, macros,...) it's a manual labor.

Make sure you redesign the data structure as well - relations in Flemaker can be a lot simpler (return-separated listes aka. multi-key ...)
