We’ll perform your conversion with expert care and guarantee 100% retention of data, design, programming, reports, printing and merges — with no down time or learning issues for you or your people. We convert many DOS-era programs.

More than 35 Years of Q&A Experience

Since 1988, Quick Answer has worked with Q&A, performing hundreds of Q&A system migrations involving thousands of databases.

  • We convert Q&A for DOS 3.0, 4.0, 5.0
  • We convert Q&A for Windows
  • We recover damaged Q&A databases
  • We migrate Q&A data to any format
  • We convert Q&A docs to Microsoft Word
  • We convert most all DOS-era docs
  • We convert Dac Easy, Lotus Approach and other DOS-era programs
  • We fully guarantee all our work and we are open weekends, too.

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Tom and Marble Publications. Tom was exceptionally quick and efficient in building our database. We had many challenges which Tom resolved with ease. He was generous with his time and went above and beyond, helping us to create our outstanding new database and even teaching us a few things along the way.

  • Just wanted to let you know that we are up and running and everything seems great so far. I am extremely happy with the new database system and the job you have done.

    - Bob De George, Jr., NASA Machine Tools, Inc.

  • On behalf of System 2000 Group Ltd UK, I would like to thank you for the planning and work that went into the successful conversion of our Q&A 5 database system to Sesame. Along the way we discovered things that Sesame could do that Q&A could not. This encouraged us to add to a wish list, and for a very reasonable additional fee you implemented them. Due to the similarities between Sesame and Q&A, our people quickly learned the new system. Once again, thanks for a very complex job that surpassed our expectations.

    – Jonathan Rowley, Owner

    - System2000

  • Our good friend Sesame/A-Ware has been running flawlessly so I’ve not had an excuse to bug you. But you can take that as a quiet compliment about your solid work.

    - Rich Alexander – Alexander Publications

  • We have the new application up and running and it looks good. Thanks again for your help rescuing our data.

    - Robert Cochran, Senior Network Administrator, Office of Information Technology, Archdiocese of New Orleans

  • Thanks for all your help. The database works great. It was the easiest conversion I’ve ever done.

    - Julie Gilroy

  • I think I told you already you are ROCKING AWESOME – Thanks, Tom!

    - Andy Olson, Magna Media, Las Vegas

  • All is good so far. The new system is practical and fast.

    - Hernando Esparza, Planning Manager, Scuba Duba Corp.

  • Thanks for doing the archiving. Our Sesame system is blazing fast now. The new security and related changes work like a charm. Thank you for your help in this area. I have to say that we (20 users) are all very pleased with the quick response and progress that we have made in such a short time.

    - Joe Coffey, Owner, Archer Screw Products, Inc.

  • My Sesame database system is working very well for us. I thank you for your skill in the successful migration from Q&A.
    I would be pleased and honored to recommend you to any future migration clients.
    I am sure your prospective client is weighing the same pros and cons that I had to weigh in determining whether it made sense to move from Q&A to a new database.
    At the time I was considering moving from Q&A, my assistants resisted the idea of leaving Q&A and had an “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it” attitude, at least don’t make any such changes until after their retirement.
    Two things happened, they did retire and the possibility of staying with Windows XP in order to use Q&A and WordPerfect for DOS was no longer viable.
    We are now using great hardware with Windows 10 Pro and improved security software.

    - Stephen H. Waks, Attorney, Stephen H. Waks, Attorney at Law, Sacramento, CA

  • Just wanted to let you know the move over to the new system went very smoothly. No problems at all. I am very confident in the new set-up, and very happy how smoothly it went. We are running all 15 users at once with no issues.
