I've been sent a database with a .prn file extension.

Anyone know an easy way to open this and get the data into access?

Sounds like a text file to me produced by printing to file in Windows. If you lucky it might be comma separated variable file.

Just open it in Notepad and take a look.

You can open it in notepad. If it's comma separated change the extension from .prn to .csv and open it in excel.
Hope this helps.
