450934 2006-04-30 22:02:00 Heya all,

Someone has just sent the boss a .WDB file, and we do not have Works.

Does anyone know of a way to convert a .WDB file to something more relevant without having Works.

Thanks in advance.

I used this same utility at the weekend, and had to run it multiple times, then compare the same columns in all the files to weed out their random text entries - all except the first data cell in all files which was always over written by their nag text.

All we needed it for was to extract a listing of about 20 names for a mail out.

All that was in the databse was name and address fields.
