Re: [libreoffice-users] Base can't open databases

 Michael ,

We zouden dat in het Nederlands kunnen oplossen, no :-)
You must understand that your odb file is just a go between,  to make a 
"connection" to your original tables "main". When you first made your 
odb file you have to make a choice wath "driver" to use make the connection.
For some reason the choosen driver is no longer found.
Open your odb file and check under edit > datbase >"connection type" 
wath driver is missing .

Hop it helps

Groeten
