MS Access Forum / Conversion / October 2003Convert Works database
I was sent a Works database file I need to use in Access 2000. The sender can't figure out how to save in even a dBase format. Is there a way I can import this file? Thanks. Hi Neil, There's no direct way of importing Works database files into Access (no one seems sure why). You'll need either to talk the other person through the process of exporting to a dbf or text file, or else get find a copy of Works (or a computer running it) nearer home. The following articles give step by step instructions that may help with the talking-through: HOW TO: Import a Works Database into Microsoft Access 2002 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;327147 How to Import a Works Database into Microsoft Access 2000 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;197894 How to Import Spreadsheets from Microsoft Works for Windows http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;93698 ACC: How to Import a Works Database into Microsoft Access 95 or 97 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;176201 >I was sent a Works database file I need to use in Access >2000.
