Importing Data to Access 2003 From Microsoft Works Version 6/7

[Jason Sachs]

Is there any method on record of how to import Works Data
Tables into a version of Access, preferably 2003?

Unless there's been a change in Access 2003 (which I haven't installed yet),
Access and Works don't recognize each other.

What you have to do is export the data from Works to a format which Access
can then import. Many people use dBase as the intermediate format.

The following KB article describes the process using Access 2002:

Hi Jason,

Alas no. The standard method is to export the data from Works into
textfiles or spreadsheets and then import these into Access.
