   opening .key and .dta files

   Hi,   
      
   I've got a big problem. I've got an old program that's written in Turbo   
   Pascal, I don't know which version. I've only got the compiled executable   
   (.exe file), I haven't got the source code. The program works with a   
   database that consists of .dta and .key files which represent the data   
   tables.   
      
   The program has been used for years and the database contains lots of data   
   that has been build up through these years. The problem is that I stopped   
   using this program but need to extract the data somehow. My goal is to   
   convert this Turbo Pascal database to MS Excel or MS Access so that the data   
   can be used by these MS Office applications.   
      
   Is there a way to accomplish this and if so, how? Any help would be very   
   much appreciated because this is a HUGE problem for me.   
      
   Thanks in advance!
