Dec 10, 2014 5:23 AM in response to Kappyby VikingOSX,The free LibreOffice has a better chance at opening an AW 6 database file than anything else on OS X Mavericks. LibreOffice has an included database package called Base, and PDF documentation for it, and other LibreOffice components is available. If you have other ClarisWorks/AppleWorks 5/6 documents, feed them to LibreOffice too.
When you click on the LibreOffice download button, it will switch to an (optional) donation page, before resuming the download. Installation is entirely into your /Applications folder as the LibreOffice application. The first time you want to run LibreOffice, right-click on it in the /Applications folder and select open. Afterwards, it will launch with a double-click, or a single-click, if you have dragged/dropped it on your dock.
Drag and drop your AW 6 database onto the LibreOffice application icon, and see what results are obtained.
If this doesn't work for you, the only other recourse is to use AppleWorks 6 (latest) itself, either within a Virtual Machine (see Michael Lax post), or if your machine shipped with, or is older than July 2011, install Snow Leopard (10.6.3, update 10.6.8) in a separate external boot partition, and then install AppleWorks 6 on that. Then get that database exported as comma separated values, etc.
