Success at last: [email protected]> replied to my emailed .wdb files (2 of) by sending back the converted files in excel format that I can read. I am happy to report that these files are saved in several formats now, including hard copy, so that the same problem never pops its ugly head here again!
Thanks again to all of you, especially LindaGail, for your patience and assistance.
Sending you all a hug!
