So LibreOffice 7.2 working that one time was a fluke? Okay.

Never mind. I went into the Linux side of my system. Installed LibreOffice 5. Changed the extensions back to WKS. Converted all of them to ODS files. It took all of 10 to 15 minutes including fixing broken packages to install LibreOffice.

What is that "LibraOffice"?LibraOffice locked up again.
Where you had downloaded it from?
The name of the suggested software is LibreOffice.

Re: [Solved] Works Database (WDB) Files Conversion
Which "WKS"?! You asked the WDB extension before...Changed the extensions back to WKS.

Re: [Solved] Works Database (WDB) Files Conversion
Your Dump.ini refers to the LO 7.3.2 version. There is not portable version of it, therefore I can not try it on my PC (I will not change from my permanently installed LO 6.1.6 to LO 7.x.x yet)

Re: [Solved] Works Database (WDB) Files Conversion
Until today nobody knows the actual file format of the files in question. File name suffix means nothing. With LO there is a method to see the filter that was used to open a file successfully. Call menu:File>Save As... and the file type listbox will display the current file format such as "dBase (*.dbf)". Unfortunately, the File>Properties... dialog guesses the file type by its name suffix. https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/sho ... ?id=145003
When you rename some binary file to odb/odt/ods/odp/whatever, Windows passes the file over to LibreOffice no matter what. LibreOffice has some advanced "file sniffer" which detects that the passed file is not a zip archive (thus no office document) and then tries to detect the true file format by magic cookies or characteristic binary patterns. Unfortunately, LO does not clearly indicate the result of this inspection.

Everybody does understand I solved the problem by using LibreOffice in Linux, right? I even added [Solved] to the thread title.
