Kaneto,
Thanks for your response, but I do not understand how to do what you suggest. In my test, I click on a Works file on a memory stick. I select Open with MS Office. I do not know how to select all files *.* Are you suggesting I change the file extension to *.* from .wdb? Or is there some option in Office where I have to make the change? Forgive me for being so stupid, but I am still in learn mode.
If you could take me step by step on how to open this file using the *.* option, I would appreciate it very much.
