How can I convert my data bases in Works 6.0 to Excel??

Generally you would normally open the file in WORKS and then save it down as
a file that Excel can read. .xlr is a native Excel format, or .txt, .csv,
dbaseIV are all formats it can read. You can also find a converter here if
you don't have WORKS.

Text from the website above:-

Microsoft does not provide an import Excel filter for Works-WKS files later
than version 2. (for Works-WPD and Word they do). There is no standard way
to convert a lot of Works-WKS 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 the batch converting wizard (see right side).

Two articles from Microsoft that deal with Works and the files it can
open/save as.
