Can the Microsoft Works database be accessed and read by VB6.0?
 
I'm not saying nobody could get it to work, but I don't think there is a clean way.

Access can't import a Works database (.wdb) either. I don't think there is any ODBC driver for Works DBs.

You could do what everybody else does though, export the Works DB to a delimited field format file(s) or else export from Works to dBASE IV format. VB 6 can handle those pretty easily.
 
Are you saying that if I save a works database file to a comma delimited file, then VB6.0 could access, no pun intended, it? If so, how?
