"YourCall".mdb can be opened with Microsoft Access. The QSO table can then be exported in Microsoft Excel format. In Excel formulas can be written to take this data and generate an ADIF file, assuming the standard itself has 'verbs' for each item in the DXBase log (I have not checked that). Yes this would be a lot of work, but it would be possible, and once developed it could be provided to anyone who wanted it.
HOWEVER as a long time and satisfied DXBASE user I do hope that Jack finds someone to continue the software! I would not look forward to the effort to make a change to something else when I am mostly happy with DXB2007. The demise of Windows-XP and it's replacement with Windows-7 is enough to worry about.
