Is it possible to import a *.mdb db from an old forum to Kunena?

If so, how?

thanks

Sounds like a custom job worth a few hundred dollars to me (just my opinion of course). I've never heard of it being done successfully.

Ok, is there are other formats you can import from - sql, txt files, etc..

I'm an IT expert, so if a conversion from *. Mdb to another format is an option, it can also be done.

Or is it only possible to create a new db in joomla / Kunena and start from nothing?

Basically that's what happens when you install Kunena. I'm not sure if I completely understand the question you're asking.

I'm also not sure how converting from a single MS Access database will address the problem. My first suggestion to you is to read (as background) I want to migrate my forum to Kunena ... :dry:

Maybe I have not been clear enough.

I have a client running on an old Snitz 2000 Forum and he wants to switch to a new forum.
I can export the database from Snitz 2000 to an access db. *.Mdb

I now i have find a forum that can import data from the old Snitz 2000 and have looked at Kunena.

I thought there was a small plugin or script that could do it.

Should there be some who have tried to migrate a *.mdb db to mysql, I will love here about it :)

If I find a solution, I write it here ....

have a nice day.
