Title: Microsoft Works Help Post by: Jon MW on October 10, 2008, 04:35:10 PM We've received a file in .wdb format.
As far as I can tell neither Acces nor Open Office can open these - does anybody know if there is some other option other than just telling them to save it as a .dbf and resend it?

edit: typical microsoft... you have to have access to works to import it into access. Title: Re: Microsoft Works Help Post by: Jon MW on October 10, 2008, 05:24:20 PM Well I wanted to tell the client to do it again, and do it better.
But the MD has this weird idea about customer service so he's sent it to somebody with Works to re-save it in an Access compatible format so that we don't have to bother the client Title: Re: Microsoft Works Help Post by: stallyon on October 10, 2008, 06:28:37 PM this thread should be banned...
