Re: [libreoffice-users] looking for help on Base

Hi Roberto,

Access will not run natively in Linux. I run Ubuntu 11.04 presently. I 
was a windows user when I switched to Base. One reason for switching was 
I knew someday I wanted to migrate to Linux. It was very easy since 
OpenOffice worked in both platforms. I run Quicken and Dreamweaver 
through Wine on Ubuntu. You may need to move up to Crossover Office, but 
it would be likely some version of Access would work. I have not 
researched this though. In general, some versions of Microsoft Office do 
work with Crossover Office.
