Hi,

Can you import a Microsoft Access table to either the Microsoft Works
Spreadsheet or the Works Database? I am planning on creating a database to
keep a log of the books in my church library. I have Access 2003 at home
and my church has Works 4.5. I want to use Access because you can do more
with it and because I'm more familiar with it. However, I want to be able
to make the data accessible in a basic format to someone who might not have
Access (incase it is needed or incase I no longer keep track of the
library). Does anyone have any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Not directly.

You can use TransferDatabase to export the Access data in dBase format, and
then Works can import the dBase file.
