SUMMARY
Works may run but not load the desired spreadsheet file when you double-click the spreadsheet's file icon in the Windows 3.1 File Manager.

Solution
Do the following to correct the problem:


 * 1) Select any .WKS file in File Manager.
 * 2) From the File menu in File Manager, choose Associate.
 * 3) Type wks in the Files With Extension option if &quot;wks&quot; is not already entered.
 * 4) Select Microsoft Works Spreadsheet from the Associate With option.
 * 5) Choose the OK button.

Double-clicking on a WKS file in File Manager should start Works and open the spreadsheet correctly after this modification.
