How do I convert MS Work WDB files to read with Access 2007?

[Jock]

I have a large data base written using an old version of MS Works. I want to
read or convert the data basee so that it can be read and worked on in Access
2007

Jock,

You can save the data to disk using the Text & Commas option in the
Save As menu which saves the file as a .csv file. You can then import
that into Access.

MS Works can only create 'flat file' databases (i.e. one table) so if
your data needs to be 'normalised' you will need to import it into two
or more related tables. Have a look at my Excel to Access Converter
Utility program which can do that for you once you have determined
which tables you need.
