You can open Lotus files (.wj2, .wk1) in Exportizer using these ways:

  1. Opening by specifying file name (interface: ADO). Select File option and then browse for the needed file.
  2. Opening by specifying folder name (interface: ADO). Select Folder option, select a driver from the drop-down list, and then browse for the needed folder with Lotus files.
  3. Opening through connection string (interface: ADO). Select Connection string option and write a connection string. Connection string provides a flexible way to open the database because it can include different set of parameters. This way is recommended for advanced users but in most cases connection strings are enough simple even for beginners. Here are basic connection strings (more examples and details can be found in the Internet):

    Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Extended Properties="Lotus WJ2;DATABASE=C:\MyLotusFolder";

    Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Extended Properties="Lotus WK1;DATABASE=C:\MyLotusFolder";

Attention

  • This database type is supported in 32-bit version only.
  • Microsoft Jet OLE DB provider must be installed.
