I know nothing about Quattro Pro, but you can always transfer any  
database or spreadsheet to another database or spreadsheet program by  
saving the data from the original program as plain (aka ASCII) text,  
either tab or comma delimited. Every database or spreadsheet program  
I've ever seen can import tab- or comma-delimited text.

Reconstructing the database structure and formatting in a new program  
may take a bit more doing, but transferring the raw data is usually  
pretty easy.

Some database/spreadsheet programs will import specific types of data  
files without having to go through the export/import-as-text process.  
The best way to find out what kind of files any particular program  
will import is to use that program's "open" or "import" command and  
see what kind of options are available.
