Calling all Open Office users, specifically those who work with databases.
Can anyone tell me if Open Office's database program, Open Office Base, can import or work directly with MS Access 2007 .accdb database files?
I'd like to be able to offer my databases to others for use without them needing MS Access to run them, and I'm looking for an easy and cheap way for them to do that. _________________ Yeah... I said that. |

Native support does not seem to exist (assuming I'm reading this right):

Yes, it does work.
Ive been using open office for years now and i havent found much that it WONT open, or a easily downloaded plugin that makes it open anything. _________________ Bunch together a group of people deliberately chosen for strong religious feelings, and you have a practical guarantee of dark morbidities expressed in crime, perversion, and insanity.
