    Question Can you convert .mdb to .wdb??

    A few years ago, I created a document on Access in Microsoft Office 2000. The document's file extension is .mdb. Unfortunately that computer died.

    We purchased Office 2007 Standard when we replaced the computer. It doesn't contain Access, but I thought that perhaps I'd be able to open the document using Works 9.0 Database which uses .wdb file extension, but I've not been able to.

    Does anyone know if this possible and, if so, could you please point me in the right direction so that I don't have to recreate the document in Works 9.0?

    Thanks,

    Dee

    A simple Google/Bing search should get you possibilities. Here is one

    I think you will find that tables can be converted but queries, forms, reports, code cannot.
