307189 2004-12-24 10:25:00 I have a large colection of movies on VHS tapes. They are catalogued with MS Works Database. My music videos are in the same DB and I want to create a seperate catalogue for them.
Is there some way to import the 'music' records, or will I have to retype the lot? Vince

307190 2004-12-24 10:39:00 try export your works db to csv
youll need to this twice once for music and another for the other records
open the csv in excell or works spreadsheet, sort and delete unwhated records, import back into seperate works DB
Before you try this I recommend you back up the database just incase

307192 2004-12-27 11:28:00 Just to let you all know that I figured out what to do. I deleted everything but the music videos from the database and 'saved as' Music Videos. I then opened the original and deleted the music and 'saved'.
Mission acomplished. Vince
