How do I convert an Office 2000 WDB file to Office 2003?
I have an Address database that I created in Office 2000. I cannot access it
since we upgraded to Office 2003. It will not open in any of the programs. Does anyone have a solution? |

A WDB file is not a Microsoft Office file (any version!) it is a Microsoft Works file. I suggest you use Microsoft Works to open it. No version of Access can open it. |

You may need to get a copy of Works and use it to export the addresses to a text file (which can then be imported into Access). Access itself cannot open or use Works .wdb files (oddly enough, since they're both purportedly database products from the same company!) Try using Excel instead; open Excel and use File... Import, and choose ..wdb as the file type. John W. Vinson[MVP] |
