I have an old disk with an address db that was built with a works program.
Is there any way to open in Access 2000?
 
Not really. Apparently some versions of Excel may be able to open it, and
you can then import the Excel workbook into Access, but you can't go
directly from Works to Access.

If you still have Works, you can open it and save it as .CSV or .DBF and
import that.
