I think Dan is referring to the fact that if someone has an Access
database, they can use OOo to extract information from it, prepare
reports, etc; I have done some of that with an old Access 2000
database I have. I think it only works on Windows, though, and I'm not
sure whether OOo can be used to edit the Access d/b. Whatever the case
is, there needs to be info about it in the Base Guide. IIRC, I turned
the Access d/b into a Base d/b, so I could use it on Linux as well;
but I don't remember what I did to achieve this.
BTW, the bit on using OOo with Access is in Chapter 8 of the draft
outline for the Base Guide.

Just about anything would be good for the Migration Guide, as it seemed
rather ancient the last time I read it. OTOH, I would be incorrect if it
was revised lately.
