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

Hi :)
You can have a machine with more than 1 version of LibreOffice but it's not trivial to set-up.  
This guide can help.  
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel
The main advantage is that when you feel like upgrading you can test the new one before committing 
to it and rolling it out.  It saves setting up a VM as they are never quite the same as "running on 
bare metal".
Regards from
Tom :)

Hey Alex,

Thanks for the info..
But since i'm using CALC in a production enviroment i don't want to go 'trying' with beta releases 
...
I could though use a VM and see if it works there ...

Also; i thought that the tables were converted to ODF; but clearly they're not when i read your 
comments...

Is there a way to fully convert an MDB to ODF without keeping 'links'???
because actually that's what i wanted to do in the first place...

If i need an older version to do that, no problem; i'll temporarily install OO.O or so in a VM and 
do it with that, so that in my production enviroment i'm permanently freed of this MS 
dictatorship...

Thanks again for all your good help!




Met vriendelijke groeten,

Michael Bogaerts
