Can a Microsoft Works Database file be imported into Access 2013? If not, is there a way to copy my info from Works into Access? I hope so because I just purchased a one time download of Access 2013 for $99. from Amazon.com.!!!

I never used a Works database but most tables from databases easily export to excel. So if it can not be done directly export your data to excel and import the excelfiles into Access 2013.

Hi,

As far as I know, we can convert the Works Database file to CSV file and then import to the Access. If your client still has the Microsoft Works program, we can use "Save As" to save the data file in either CSV or DBF ( 3 or 4) format (these options are provided by the MS Works Database program.)

If you have no the Microsoft Works program, please see the below thread:

Then, we also may try Mr. Maurice's suggestion that import it to Excel. Please see this article.

Hope it's helpful.
