I am trying to open a .wdb filw with microsoft access 
2000, whe i try to open it it tells me that it is the 
wrong format for access.  Is there a way to open this file 
without first opening it in works? I can't seem to figure 
out a way.  Any help in this matter would be appreciated.

Access cannot read Works WDB files.

All you can do is to export the data from Works WDB to a suitable format
(e.g. Excel, text, ...) and then import the data to Access.
