Hi, thanks to the combined effort of a number of people, there's hope that Linux users of OpenOffice.org will be able to access Microsoft Access databases (.mdb) in a not-too-distant future.
An OpenOffice.org database driver, based on the MDBTools project [1], is currently being developed. On OpenOffice.org side, the credits for this driver go to Yong Wind Li, Alexandre Horst, Luciano Wolf, and Fridrich Strba (at least, there've been a lot of people involved over time :). A preliminary version of an OpenOffice.org installation set, based on the 680m165 milestone, is available from [2]. If you're interested in this feature, you're encouraged to download and install this version, and stress it with as many MSA databases as possible. Provide us with your feedback (preferrably in [email protected]), to help making this driver even better than it currently is!
