I have just purchased Microsoft Office Pro. and want to move my Works
Database files over to it, as I can not get them to print. (error message:
not enough memory). Is there a way to do this?

You can import various types of database files directly into Access,
including txt file, csv files, and dbf files. If you still have Works
database installed, simply open Works and save your files in a form
that Access will import. Type dbf seemed to work fine for me, but I
had very simply Works files. With this you'll basically just get the
data, that is, tables. You have to build reports, etc from within
Access.
