Can I port an Excel database to Works wdb?

I was sent an Excel file today with 42 entries on one sheet with ten fields. I only have Works and short of pasting the lot in(would that work?) or typing it in is there any way I could port the file to Works in one go? I cannot save the file to Works as there is no save or save as.

I have already tried opening the file up in Works but get the corrupted file or wrong application message.

I want to play around with it, re sort fields that sort of thing but because I only have Excel Viewer I cannot do this but I could if it was Works wdb. Only if I can do this can I use the file for the personal research it was sent to me for. As the file came from my local Council I know they won't have Works so haven't asked ands the sender put themselves out to compile it for me from a bigger database.

I think my edition of Works is version 8 but anyway it was bundled with a computer running XP Pro I bought in early 2005.

You can save as .csv and then import it to works if you can save as.... if not [url.=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/253405]read this[/url]

Cut and paste should also work. Ctrl A to highlight all, right click copy, open works and paste.

That is the problem Noo it will only save from the email as attachment and tyhere is no save or save as facility from the actual file. I will try the paste thing.

Thank you Noo cut and paste worked :thumbs2:

Good stuff!
