Dear Sirs!
I am a very satisfied OO-user. Only I have one problem with the
database. How can I convert my MS Access-files (tables) to OO Database
files? I can make semicolon separated files from my Access-files, but
I still haven't found a way to import this file in my OO Database.
This is probably basic skills, but it causes me trouble and I would
very much appreciate any help.
I'm new at this forum so please forgive me if I repeat a question that
has been answered previously.
Sincerely
Robert, Denmark
First, you need to create a Base database that links to your MS Access
.mdb. You will then be able to see a list of all the Access tables by
clicking the Tables icon on the left side of the main Base window, and
you can work with the tables from there. Let's call this database A.
This may be enough for you to do what you want.
If you'd like to go further, and actually create a Base database that
contains your data without being connected to the .mdb file, you can
create a second Base database.(B). Now you can drag-and-drop a table
from the tables list in A to the equivalent location in B, or
right-click a table in A and select Copy, then click in the tables area
of B and Paste. Either will bring up a dialog that lets you deal with
the data importation into B.
This is just a sketch of how it works, if you need more details I'll be
glad to help later, or somebody else will. But for me, at least, the key
was to realize that everything works from cut and paste rather than
through a specific Import option somewhere.
