Bob, If you don't have MS Works any longer, I can possibly try to copy the sucker over for you.
Barb, May I ask why OOo can't import files from MS Access? One of the things that appeared to be a "selling" point of OOo is its compatibility with MS Office. I've always looked for a means to import files from MS Publisher. Is it because there is no interest in the project? Microsoft makes it too difficult to emulate the file format? Or are there legal aspects as well? -Sean -----Original Message----- From: Barbara Duprey [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, December 19, 2010 6:25 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [discuss] Microsoft Works v4.5 On 12/16/2010 5:13 PM, Bob Dennison wrote: > I have some database files I created in this format.

[Bob ([email protected]) is not subscribed and probably will not see responses unless directly copied.] OOo Base doesn't have a direct import from Works (or Access, for that matter). If you have access to Works, look to see how it can save or export its data; the most likely possibility for a common format is .csv, which can be used in either Base or Calc, depending on whether you need a true database or not. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
