I have no experience with Works, so I'm not sure what to recommend. Mairving suggestions seem like your best shot.

1) I would try what Mairving said in suggestion (1.)

2) Does Works let you export or save as a text file?

3) Maybe you can setup a macro to create a text file?

4) What extension is your works database? Try opening it with notepad, maybe it's text based (doubt it)

Sorry I can't help more

Bozo, welcome to Webmaster-Forums. I am not a Frontpage expert. Just a couple of ideas though. One MS only sells Works as a counterfeit to it's other more robust programs like access and excel. I searched some on the web and I couldn't come up with an answer that was even close. With that in mind I think that maybe you have two options:
(1.) Try to save or export the Works file as either a .mdb(access) or .xls (excel) file. You would have no problems at all importing this file into Frontpage. The last time I used Works was a few years back. It seems like the database wasn't compatible with much anything.
(2.) Buy/Beg/Borrow a copy of MS Office. You can probably get a copy of Office 97 pretty cheap about now with XP coming out.

Other than those thoughts, I have none other. Anyone else?
