Logo WKS Converter MS Works Spreadsheet (*.wks) and Database (*.wdb) files to Excel 97/2000/XP/2003 Conversion

Microsoft does not provide an import Excel filter for Works-WKS files later than version 2. (for Works-WPS and Word they do). There is no standard way to convert a lot of Works-WKS or WDB files into the Excel format! You need to save each file out of Works manually into XLS which is a pain in the neck.
Here comes our MS Works Spreadsheets to Excel Converter. It does not need a Works Installation and you can use our RL-File-Conversion-Wizard for batch conversion.
