I'm not sure about an Access 2010 file, but I can easily edit the
NWind.mdb file in LO 3.5.3. Note: to edit the date in the table, you use
'Open' rather then 'Edit'. 'Edit' allows you to edit the Field names
etc. Also note that LO 3.5.3 (Windows version) has dropdown selections
for 'Microsoft Access' and 'Microsoft Access 2007'. I do not know if
'Microsoft Access 2007' includes Access 2010. Do you have a test file?

When you right click on the table & select 'Open' what occurs? Does the
table open for you?
