MDB using LibreOffice

[mixint27]

How do you open a MDB file in LibreOffice?

I have installed all the add ons in the software center.

Can somebody show me step by step? Thank you!

I think it only works in the windows version as that has the extra dlls you need to make it work.

You can convert the data, but not views nor reports.

In the repository is mdbtools, libmdbtools, and mdbtools-gmdb that allows conversion and export.

See MDBviewer in synaptic. My copy shows that a form exists but does nothing with it.

While I used MS Access for years at work, we were a Windows shop. IF using Linux then it may be time to convert.

But some have tried various kluges.
