I have Microsoft works database files that I would like to open on my MBP, 
is there any compatible program I can do this with?

You don't mention which platform of MSWorks - Mac? - Windows? - If you=20
have MacLinkPlus 15.x, it will probably be able to convert the files=20
into for example an Excel sheet, which then can be opened either in=20
MSO2004/2008, Neooffice, OpenOffice or MarinerCalc 5.5 or newer.

If it is MSworks 4.5 or later for Windows the only way is to open the=20
files on a Windows PC using MSWorks for windows 4.5 or later and then=20
save the files as 'tab delimitted text' (tabulator separated text)=20
files, which you then can import to MSO2004/2008, NeoOffice, OpenOffice=20
or MarinerCalc 5.5 or later and save as a spreadsheet, - or in NeoOffice =

and OpenOffice save as a databasefile.

The tab delimitted text files can also be imported to any Mac version of =

Filemaker.
