= SUMMARY =

The Works Database accepts delimited text (ASCII) files. Works recognizes the comma or tab as field delimiters, but only the quotation mark (&quot;) as the text-quote character.

Works saves a database file as a Works file or as a text (ASCII) file. Note that the text file uses the comma as the field delimiter and the double quotation mark as the text-quote character in Works 1.05. In Works 2.00, you have the option of saving the text file using a comma or a tab as the field delimiter.
