Are you using ClarisWorks 5 or AppleWorks 5.?
If AppleWorks 6 is open then generally a double click on an AW5/CW5
will open the file saying of course that it was created by an older
version.
Another way to open is to use the Open from the File menu.
A third way is to use Save As in AW5/CW5 and save the data as an
ASCII file. You would then need to set up a database in AW6 with
the field names in the same order as the old data base and then
import the ASCII file.

This happens with maybe 1 in 3 of my database files.

can't find any pattern why some will convert, others not, it's not
size (some small, some 2 Mb). And Clarisworks under Classic can't
seem to export database files under a different format which
Appleworks can import.
