We are presently using a flat file system called Cardbox(www.cardbox.com)

Looks like it stores images and the like.

Do you see the menu item where it says exchange?

You'll neeed to look that up, or find a way to export all the data.

Yes DTS can import the data into a SQL Server database, but that doesn't necessarily make it relational.
