Well, if it works there, copy it to the Performa, save the database as a Clarisworks database, network to the imac/tibook, and open in Appleworks 6. Appleworks will open databases from previous versions of ClarisWorks/Appleworks, and you can save it as the format of the application you want to use the database in from the available databases. If the one you want to use is not on that list, just pick one that the app you want to use can import and save it as that. You are a true patron of Low End Macs!!!!
