[OT] To import or retype?
Some of us believe in the philosophy of the late John Kemeny (Co-author of BASIC, Dartmouth Professor, President of Dartmouth, Chairman of Three Mile Island Committee) that once data is entered into a computer and proofed, it should NEVER be retyped in that some method should exist for it to be transported to another use.

IF you can convert the access file to an excel file without too much trouble, I can tell you how to use Excel to obtain a Gedcom. Not totally painless, but faster than typing them all in. Let me know if you wan to try this.

I recently received an MS Access database containing information on a few hundred people.
Is there any way to format this information into a GEDCOM file, or some other means that can be used to get the data into a Legacy family file?
If there isn't, I had better start typing! Thanks for your help.
