>If you are talking about .wks files, then you could use Office Automation to open them via excel and save or convert as needed.

>>I know that this isn't a FoxPro question, but since I'm the "Computer Guy" at this client site I've been asked to solve a problem converting MS Works. I was hoping that someone has run into this situation somewhere and can offer a solution. I have looked through Microsoft's web site with no luck.

>>This client used an old version of MS Works and created hundreds of files to control AR/AP/PR. They have since moved into accounting software, but still use the old files as backup.
>>
>>They have upgraded to NT 2000 and MS Office 2000. The MS Works is on an old Packard Bell that was the original computer.
>>
>>As you know, Access can not open a MS Works file. The file must be opened in MS Works and then saved in Access format. This will take days to do. I've been looking for a conversion utility that would do this automatically. Seems to me someone may have written something for this.
>>
>>Again, I apoligize for posting a non FoxPro question on this site, but I've run out of places to look.
>>
>>Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

>>Thanks,
