Microsoft Works Database (.wdb)

The WDB file extension stands for Microsoft Works Database. It is used for database files created by Microsoft Works, an office suite that was popular in the 1990s. These files are similar to Microsoft Access's MDB files but have more limitations and are not natively supported by modern Microsoft Office versions. WDB files store data in a proprietary format, making them less efficient compared to MDB files. Due to the discontinuation of Microsoft Works, opening WDB files now requires alternative methods, such as using older versions of Microsoft Word, converting them to Excel format, or using third-party tools like CodeAlchemists Works Database Converter.

Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet - Legacy (.xls)

The XLS file extension, short for "Excel Spreadsheet", is a legacy format used by Microsoft Excel for storing spreadsheet data. Introduced with Excel 2.0 in 1987, it was the primary format until the introduction of XLSX in 2007. XLS files contain data organized in rows and columns, supporting formulas, macros, and various formatting options, making them essential for data analysis and financial reporting. Despite being replaced by the more robust and secure XLSX format, XLS files remain widely used in many legacy systems and applications.
