My old computer had MS Word and Works. My new computer has MS Office and
Excel. Some of my files are saved as .wdb Is there any way I can get them back and work on them in Excel? |

.wdb in excel
Hi,
To the best of my recollection *.wdb files were MS works database files so you would probably want to open these with MS Access. Works spreadsheets were *.wks and MS office will open these.

.wdb in excel
Thanks for responding Mike. I have Office 2003. I tried MS Access but it
still says it's the wrong format. I can get to my old comp. Is there a way I can open the files I need and save them differently so my new one will open them?

Hi,
I was amazed when I googled it at how difficult this appears to be without a copy of MS Works. I googled 'open .wdb files' and got thousands of hits telling me how difficult it is. I suggest you ask around some coleagues/friends for someone who has works and get then to open and save in a format Office can use. Mike "TheRileySix" wrote: Thanks for responding Mike.
