$2-8 USD / hour

Convert an old DB4 database exe used for fish stock inventory to a new modern Access or Mysql Database . This database is being managed by software so old, apparently it cant even be navigated by mouse. I need to see if there's a way to salvage it though because apparently it's the companies entire life of data for stock, customers, etc.... Can this be done ?

My bid is for a fixed price of $500 for : 1. Converting your DB4 (DBase IV?) files (data) to a more modern and powerful client/server database, that is more faster and reliable 2. Creating a new Windows desktop application (EXE) with a modern and powerful GUI to access this database, and with all the same functions as the old DB4 program. This application will even function multi-user (many users accessing and sharing the same data). I can add new functions and reports if needed by you. Thus you will be able to completely replace the old software with a new, modern Windows application. I can deliver in 10 days or less, and will provide full support for setting it up and getting started. Good quality work done. Long term support available. Thanks for considering my bid. Bests, Larry

Hi, I have gone through your project details and would like to have discussion on the same. I have worked on several database projects like DB4, Access and MYSQL, so I can help you out in the conversion of database to required format (Access/MYSQL). To get specific details of existing database, I would like to have discussion on the same and plan out further on the project. Waiting for your response for the same. Thanks. -Vimal Arora

Hi, Top quality work with Access, VBA programming and databases in general here. In principle, *everything* can be done. I recall me having dealt with some DB-III and Foxpro db's, that was many moons ago :-) I offer you to port your db to Access, my favorite db. Ready to hear details about your needs. Looking forward to your contact, Grunty.

Do you need only data conversion or whole new application? Both can be done but solution with new application demands a lot more time and of course higher price. If you wish you can send me what you have and we can discuss about what to do and about price. Thanks for reading my proposal.

Hi there - my name is Paul. I have more than 25 years of experience in designing and developing MS Access applications especially for small and medium sized enterprises. I'm new at Freelancer and don't have so many feedbacks until now. But as you can see my existing customers were 100% satisfied! I created a MS Access application for a printing copyany last year and the migration of actual and historical data from the DBX-Files was not a bug think. Therefore I'm very optimistic that you data can be converted/imported. If you want to be on the safe side please provide some files and can check this. If you'd like to view my previous work, take a look at my Freelancer Portfolio or contact me to get any additional information. Looking forward to hearing from you! Best regards, Paul

Hi! I think i can help you. If i correctly understood, you want new software which will provide you all existing functionality (probably with new features) but in modern way. Do you have any preferences for application design? For Old DB structure issue i can create simple data migration application (just decide target DB - Access, MySQL, MSSQL, etc) Please contact if interested. regards, Yevgeny

Sounds like you have a challenge on your hands. I am willing to work with you to solve it. I would like to get some more information about the project. You mentioned that you can't use a mouse on this current database, can it be remotely connected? I don't want to waste your time, but would like to help you if I can. I have a lot of experience working with databases, and really don't ever give up unless there is smoke coming out of the server (we will try to avoid that here :D). Please contact me if you would like to discuss this further and see what we can do.

Hi, I have been working with dBase and its derivatives since 1983. I can use Visual FoxPro (yes, it's still around and I have a *REGISTERED* copy of the last version) to natively read dBase IV tables. I can convert all those tables to an Access or MySQL database with quick turnaround. As an intermediate step I can also provide you with .CSV files for all the tables and some documentation on whatever indexing scheme they've used. xBase languages are big on using indexes and relations for parent/child tables, and they will give good clues as to how the screens could be developed. I can see this project working very easily into an Access database. MySQL/PHP on a browser-based system is also very doable, although it would probably require more development time. Either way, you would 100% own the source code and any other materials I produced in the development process. If there is any dBase IV code lying around and you need entry/maintenance screens done, I can use it to create the necessary panels in the new system. Is this fish stock inventory for a pet shop, a hatchery, a seafood market...? -Lennie

34 + years experience, successfully deploying database solutions. 23 + years programming with Access. All kinds of solutions, for a wide variety of satisfied clients. Using Access 97 I can import the DBase IV tables, and export the data directly to a mdb datafile, from there create forms, which will enable you to handle the information as you see fit.
