works database - converting
I've got old works database files (.wdb) on backup disk that I would like to
import/convert into Excel 2000. Newer computer, old works program not loaded on this machine. So, I can't do as Microsoft suggests and open in works and saveas dbase file. Please advise. Thanks in advance! |

Sometimes you can get lucky and just change the file extension to
something the software will recognize. This is dicey, and may or may not work. Step 1 is to try this only on a *backup* copy of the file, so no data is lost in the event of an irrecoverable error. Step 2 is to change the .wdb file extension to .mdb (MS Access) or .dbf (dBase database file). Good luck with it! |
