Comment on Seeking help to preserve WWII database on Windows 98

Comments

It looks like an application based on Microsoft Access.

Where I work we still occasionally use Office 97 with all the strange things it does to take over your desktop and that paperclip. It works just fine in Windows 10 and could probably open that database and see the SQL tables, it would probably not be hard at all to load the SQL tables in Postgres. I did a data import project for that kind of database and I am waiting for the QA people to tell me I did it right.

I do know I was unable to open the database w/ the current Office 365 and was told to go back and get the old Office.
