Hello,

Thanks for the usefull info.
If I understand it right I cannot simply replace the original Access-file by
another Office Base-file.
It still needs to be installed both on an other computer (Access-file +
software Open/LibreOffice + link).
Do You know if there is some other software (free) who can convert it?
Thanks,
M.D.BOLLE

Hello,



I have MICROSOFT Office XP Pro and use a lot of databases (self)made with
ACCESS.

Because I want to use some of these programs/files on another computer I
have installed Open- and LibreOffice.

It seems that with both systems I can open an Access-file but:

- in the navigationbar of "Tables":

-- the original tables are present

-- the original query's are present

- the navigationbars "Query's" and "Forms" and "Reports" are empty

I cannot find a way to have the forms/reports in this.

The original Access-file also is setup to open this with a particular form
so this also will not function.



Do I have missed something?



Thanks

I don't think you've missed anything, there is nothing for Access/Base that
corresponds to the 
Word/Writer, Excel/Calc, and PowerPoint/Impress interoperability. The
underlying models are quite 
different between the two. In general, you have to recreate forms and
reports after making the data 
tables accessible (generally through a connection, or by copying them into
Base's internal HSQLDB 
database). Here's a link to some more information:
