I have all my sets listed as a Microsoft Works v4 database.
Is there an easy way to convert it to a HTML table to put
on my web pages? I don't want to type in 600 entries :)

Make a calculation field that concatenates the fields you want and wraps them
in html tags*. Then export all the fields as a text file. Open it in a text
editor, copy the text and put it in the html file where you want it to appear.

won't work.

My LEGO creations site "Allanton NZ" is at

MS Excel has a "Save as HTML" option.  Don't know about Works though.  I've
noticed that if you save a large worksheet as HTML and then try to open it in
Word, the software will not cooperate.  Guess Word has some sort of table size
limit.

Build well,
