No, but you can export the data in a Works database table as a CSV file and
Microsoft Office applications can use the Text ISAM driver to read this file.

No. They are very different programs.

You can import the *data* in a Works database into Excel, or export it
to a comma-separated-values text file - and import that data into
Access; but Works "forms" are very different beasts than Access Forms
or Reports, and you'ld need to rebuild them from scratch.
