Ubuntu - Access with OpenOffice Base

Nov 25, 2006 00:01




Ubuntu - Access with OpenOffice Base Keith sent me a small Access database for the VITTA 3in6 competition so that we could work out certificates etc.

I recall hearing that there might be a problem with editing an MS Access databases with Linux so I thought to give it a try. I should not have worried as I had this open for editing in a snap using OpenOffice Base on my Ubuntu desktop computer at home running Ubuntu.

Very cool to see it working!

The layout of Base would be familiar to most MS Access users and any Base files created are saved using the same XML format used by the open document format.
