The database may logically contain macros, calculations, and links, but Lotus Approach separates these into APR files and DBF files.

There is an effective way for converting a DBF file to Microsoft Access 2000 database:
You should be able to import a DBF file from the Access "Get External Data" / "Import" menu- and then choose dBase files.

There is no effective way of converting an APR file to Access, unless it is very simple.
In my opinion, once you have the DBF in Access you can create you own views and macros. This will be probably faster than converting and then debugging.

I hope this is helpful.
