I didn't extract I linked the data, I wass particularly interested in 
mucking about with our payroll so only about 400 records in one table 
and 1000 in another.  I t all seemed to work fine. I was using Star 
office (which has online working help) as opposed to openoffice and it 
was a little crashy, seemed ok in general use but as you explored it, it 
would occasionally crash (saving the data first).


All in all a far superior experience to rebooting into windows, opening 
access mucking about discovering you wanted to do something in linux, 
rebooting etc.
