But I went through the whole process of learning how to do the import in OO 2.2. And when in the end there was a problem with the date field and import wizard, and a few other bugs, then I was recommended on the [dba-dev] list to upgrade to OO 2.3 where these things have been fixed. The entire purpose of my being recommended to upgrade to OO 2.3 was for being able to better import my MSA files. So now if this "experimental Linux-driver for .mdb files" is no longer there, then how will I do the import? Is there perhaps some better way to do it in 2.3, since this experimental file has been removed?
