Microsoft works database

[LU]

wdb file that I really need to open. No longer own PC
with Microsoft works to save it in a different format.
Currently own Access 2000. Any ideas?

Sorry, but Access doesn't recognize Works formats. The only solution is to
use Works to convert it to a format that Access does recognize. Maybe some
internet cafe might have Works installed.

If desperate, download the Works Converter from Microsoft,
and convert to Word or RTF. Then type data into new format.

I tried that when I saw the other recent posts, but could not make it work.
Works 2001 database and Excel 97 under Win 98 SE).
Is this something that needs a more recent version of Excel?

dunno, but probably. I never saw anything before that said
Excel could import Works, so it is probably a new feature.
