Your correct. I should have edited that post down some more, as my primary goal was to pass along this individual's pleasure with the application as a whole. He is not particularly worried about migrating to Linux, not in the foreseeable future anyway.
In fact what the user wanted to do was not going to happen in Linux currently, irregardless of whether he could open those linked tables or not. What he wants is the ability to write back to the MDB file. In the short term however he would have liked the ability to at least read the data under Linux. This was using the ODBC connection, what I meant about the official OOo was that he replaced the binaries supplied by the OS vendor with the OOo binaries from the OOo site. Thats all. I realize that the actual lack of support is because of the ODBC drivers under Linux. For today though, he is using Windows and connecting OOo to an MDB file and it works well for him. The point I was trying to convey - his satisfaction. On 5/19/07, Frank Schönheit - Sun Microsystems Germany < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

There is no official Linux version of OOo which supports MSA databases. So whatever version it was, if it supported accessing an .mdb file, it was no official version. The only component I know which supports this is our alpha-version of the respective SDBC driver, which should not appear in any serious release. So I think what I said still applies ...
