I just purchased and installed Works 6.0 just so I could read a database sent to me on a floppy. I still can not get the floppy to open. I get a "data stream error" Anyone seen this before or possibly know a solution? Jeffery G.

Sometimes it works sometimes it don't, I just haven't ever done it with a works file. -- Wild Bill, North Pole, Alaska Life is what happens to you while you're making other plans.
