Can saved wk files(on cd) from sonar 1 be opened and worked on in sonar 3? If so how?

To my recollection, .wrk files were from Pro Audio 9. Sonar changed the file designation to .cwp.
Either way, Sonar 3 can open and read them. However, once you resave them in Sonar 3, they can no longer be read by the original version that they were created in. Cakewalk recommends to make a back-up copy first.
I don't understand your question of "how." The answer is you just open them.
Perhaps (if they are .wrk files) your problem is you did not associate these files with Sonar 3 when you installed S3. That simply means if you double click on them, Windows does not know how to open them. It probably also means that Sonar does not display them from the open file dialogue.
You can open them by going to the file and double-clicking on it. When Windows asks what program to use, just select Sonar 3 and click the check box for Always Use This Program.
I don't know if that will fix them showing up in the Sonar open file dialogue however. For that you might have to resinstall Sonar. Maybe someone else knows how to do this.

dachay2tnr, I seem to recall they still used the old file extensions in SONAR 1, and changed them a bit later.

Yeah, it could have been one of the updates to S1 (1.3.1 perhaps?).AlChuck said:
I recall there being a lot of problems with exisiting files when they first released S1. I believe the fix may have been in the 1.3.1 update when they probably also changed the files extensions.

I know that when I upgraded to whatever version it was where the file extensions changed, it continued to open the old wrk and bun files just fine. To this day I still stumble on an old one I want to listen to (and see what the hell is in it!) and they all open.
This is SONAR 2.2 though... I have not yet been able to upgrade to 3.0 due to financial distress...
