Import/Export Data from ACC 97 to ACC 2000

I am finding it very difficult to work with data from ACC 97 and merge it
into ACC 2K. We have several databases built on ACC 97 that need to be used
in the new version BUT we cannot perform new queries on the data, yet alone
merger the data properly. Is there any way, trick, or shortcut, to be able to
merge or map the data into a ACC 2K dB and then be able to work with that
data accordingly. Any help would be most appreciated!
