Hi :)
It is not a good time to migrate to Base.  Hopefully there are other front-ends 
that could be used instead?  Base has no devs working on it so bug-reports are 
not getting fixed and there are no plans to attract devs to work on Base anytime 
soon.  

Regards from
Tom :)

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

Hello Don.
I have already succeded in runnin Access in some MS-widows emulation.
I can also wiew and (to some extent) export info from MDB files trough
"GNOME MDB Viewer is a grapical interface to MDB Tools. It lets you view
and export data and schema from MDB files produced by MS Access
97/2000/XP/2003."

What I need now is what is claimed on the LibreOffice-Base
http://www.libreoffice.org/features/base/   which states that it
"... provides native-support drivers for some of the most-widely
employed multi-user database engines: MySQL, Adabas D, MS Access..."

Many thanks, rs

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.

Yes, it may be. I am working on Ububntu based systems.
Is it possible to install MS-Access and/or SQLite native-drivers in
Linux?
Many thanks, Roberto Scotti

Hi Roberto,

When I open Base if I choose to "connect to an existing database" the
list of available drivers doesn't include MS Access (or JET), it
includes only:
...
That connection is Windows only.
Does this explain what you see on your computer?
