importing a works 2000 data base to excel 2002 from xp professional

I got a new computer that has XP Profession which
includes excel 2002. I had a works 2000 data base file
saved on a floppy disk, and I need to import the file to
this computer to use it. No matter what I try to open it
with, the computer says its not a valid file. If I try to
go on line to open it, it's not recognized there either.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Try exporting it as something that Excel can read.

Like a .csv file for example.

I don't know what Works can export, but hopefully it supports a few standard
formats. Otherwise, do a save as of the file to a Works 2.0 format, which
Excel can read.

Don't overwrite your original file if you do a saves in Works 2.0. Give it
a different file name.

If I can't open it, how can I export this file? I no
longer have the computer with the works 2000 database on
it to try to export it for the maching I have the excel
2002 on.

Never attach files.
Snip unnecessary quoted text.
Never multipost (though crossposting is usually OK).
Don't change subject lines because it corrupts Google newsgroup archives.

Have any friends that still have Works on their machines?
