J John Vinson Oct 28, 2003 #2 is Works 6.0 compatible with Access? Click to expand... Unless they've made some changes recently, no. Can data be easily converted from Works to Access? Click to expand... Not directly; but there are two ways that I've found which do work: - Open the WORKS database in Excel, or import it into Excel; then link to the Excel spreadsheet from Access. - Export the Works data to dBase or Text format (Comma Separated Text) and import that. It's a bit strange that the two database programs have no common language, but they don't!
