Hi Shari,

MS Works uses .WDB as the extension on Works DataBase files.
MS Office XP oesn't have a converter for those other than
it can use the .wdb files as mailmerge data sources if there
are no calculated fields in the file.

You may want to check with the folks in the MS Works newsgroup
for workarounds if you don't have MS Works installed.
