Is it possible to convert a MS Works data base (.wdb file)
into MS Access?

If so, how?

Thanks!

Not directly, oddly enough. One must use Works to export the data in
the .wdb file to a Text file, Excel, or dBase format; any of these can
be imported into Access.

Any forms or reports will need to be rebuilt, they don't transfer at
all; and it is very likely that you will want to normalize the data
structure. Works isn't really relational, and Access is; a data
structure that works in Works won't necessarily provide good access in
Access.
