RE: [libreoffice-users] Can't edit database connected to Access 2010 database?

        OK, now I know that I need an ODBC connection, but I have no idea how to make that 
connection.  I can't understand a good part of the article Regina sent me because I can't read 
German. Also, the article is for OpenOffice, although I don’t know whether that matters, given that 
LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffice.

        Is there anyone who knows how to get that connection right?  I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 
64-bit and I'm sure that my co-worker is using some version of Windows 7, although I don't know the 
edition or whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit.

Some time ago I made some experiments with MS Access and documented my findings in 
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Connecting_to_Microsoft_Access

Perhaps you get some hints there.

Kind regards
