Patrick if your need is to use the data in the tables Base can access it
with an ODBC connection to the Access database.

If you need to use the database program, any forms used to enter/edit data,
or reports to display or print the data, Base cannot use those.

In the first case the following links provide information how to read the
data. Only the first link is specific to LibreOffice Base. The other two
refer to Apache OpenOffice so not all the information there may be
applicable.

Another option, if your company allows, would be a remote connection to
your computer get at the database when you're out of the office.
