I recently bought a business and the customer file was created in MS Works.  The file extension is .WDB.  I am unable to open in MS Access or MS Excel, even OpenOffice.org does not support WDB files.

How can I open this file and/or where can I download the MS Works program???  I don't care if it costs money to dowload Works I need to open this file!!

    None of the answers on this thread were helpful at all.

    What finally worked perfectly was LibreOffice. It's a free, OpenSource office suite, and it opened the Works database files as easily as if it was a native format. No conversion necessary! (Though I recommend saving them all as CSV so that you don't have this problem again in the future.)

    You're welcome. <3

    Thanks for the information on converting a Microsoft Works file into something I can open in Excel.  It worked perfect!
