Looks as if you need to open the file in Works and save it out in a format
you can use in Office 2003 -- text, excel, csv, dBase, etc. You might also
try opening the WDB file directly in Excel -- dunno if that will work or
not, though.

I had already tried to open the .wdb file in Excel with no lucck. I do not
have the MS WOrks program as I use Office 2003 for everything so that's not
an option.

Thanks.

You might be able to use Word and use the Works Database file as a
mail merge datasource. You'd need to use a Directory as your mail
document and merge the data into a Word table. The completed merge
could then be copy/pasted into Excel.
