    I am trying to help a friend transfer a works 7 database file on an XP machine to a Vista M/C which has Works 8 installed.A dialog box came up stating works 8 was trying to solve the problem and finally failed. Has anyone encountered this problem or can sugest a solution

    hum; if it were a Word document, you could SAVE AS ... RTF

    try exporting the data in some 'neutral' format, even CSV

    can't help you with works, but you might want to use openoffice in the future. It is Free and fully compatible with word and other formats.

    Works is a very poor program and incompatible with most other suites.
    Try openoffice at www.openoffice.org

    it exports into ODF, DOC, PDF, XML, and a whole lot more.
