can files created in a microsoft works spreadsheet be
converted into excel and/or access database? If so, how
would you do it?
The current version of MS Works Spreadsheet will allow you to save
your spreadsheet as an Excel file (*.xls). Also, Excel will load newer
versions of Works Spreadsheet files (*.xls). That's by far the
cheapest way to go. If you have an older version of Works and that
approach won't work, there's a 3rd party add-in for Excel that will
allow you to load and convert the old Works Spreadsheet files directly
into Excel.... but it's expensive. Do a Google search "Convert Works
to Excel" and you should find several options.
