Importing database

I have a FileMake Pro DB that I would like to import into AppleWorks. Is this possible? If so, how?

AppleWorks is a flat-file database, unlike FileMaker which is a relational database. But you should be able to get the raw data into AppleWorks. You will need to save the FileMaker DB as a ASCII/plain text file (tab-delimited) & import it into a new AppleWorks database you have created with the appropriate fields.
