Hi Swarmup, Yes, the same people that asked you to upgrade are now telling you that after doing so the option is no longer available to do what it is you actually wanted to do, in the way you actually wanted to do it.
I was one of those people and I apologize. What Mechtilde means, I think, is that since OO.org is free you could always put a copy under windows, migrate your data to Base there, then copy the Base file from the XP formatted partition to the Linux formatted partition.
