Refer to http://dba.openoffice.org/drivers/mdb/ for full details, but you need to install mdbtools first, there's a rpm in contrib, but I'm not sure if it has the required patch on it. Then it appears you my or may not need to install the ooo driver, I don't know if its included in the default ooo2 build, that page only seems to refer to manually adding it to ooo1.1. John.
