Post Follow-up to this messageI would be very suprised if MicroSoft provided programming methods to read in files from a competitors obsolete product. You'll need to work out (or find on the net) the file format and write your own routine to read it. This is great fun (!!??!!!) to extract information from a file I generally read a buffer from it, then iterate through, calculating offsets and whatever, some file types are quite easy (MP3, ZIP, CAB) others are absolute sods, I've no idea about 123 files but if you know the extension there are lots of web sites that list information about file types - that is where to start. Alternatively you could install the 123 filter for Excel and use that to convert the files to CSV.

Post Follow-up to this messageThere is (or at least used to be) a developers' forum for Lotus Smartsuite products at www.lotus.com. If you poke around there and search the archives, I'd bet you can find the low-down on Lotus 123 file formats. There is almost certainly more than one 123 format, depending on which version of 123 created the file.
