Appleworks database available on PC
Depends what you mean
Do you want a windows user to be able to open and use an Appleworks database, see everything onscreen as the Mac user does, change information, and possibly send back the file to your Mac Appleworks machine? Then buy Appleworks for Windows
Do you want to do a one-time transfer of information from Appleworks Mac to a different program on Win.? You can export data from Appleworks in a number of standard formats. Realize that you will lose all of your fonts, layouts, graphics, forms, calculations etc, when you export. The recipient will get only the static data, which they can import into Excel, Access, Filemaker, whatever they want. They would have to re-do any calculated fields in their own program.
Do you want the Win. user to see a relatively small amount of data complete with layouts and graphics, but they don't need to change the data or do searches? Send them printouts or screenshots of your Appleworks screens in PDF format.
Do you want to distribute your data to a number of different Windows users, who may or may not have the right software on the machine, and allow them to browse, search, print and modify data with your layouts, scripts and calculations? Purchase Filemaker Pro and Filemaker Pro Developer, redo your database in Filemaker Pro and use Developer to create "double-clickable" runtime databases for both Mac and Windows users. Or contract that work out to a Filemaker programmer.
