My computer recently crashed, and I had to reformat the
hard drive. In the process, I lost an old program called
Microsoft Works for Windows. I did have the data files
backed up on disks. They have an extension of .wdb.
Microsoft Access does not regognize them. Does anyone
know of a program that will open such files? Or, is there
somewhere I can get the old program? Any information will
be greatly appreciated.

*.wdb are Works Wordbase files. wksdb.exe (Microsoft® Works Database) will open them.
MS Works is still alive and kicking.

Hope this helps. Let us know.
