Hi
I used many years ago access data base and I remember that you can
export de data base to spreadsheet (excel). Then you would do:
1) Open Base program and open directly the excel spreadsheet and save as
data Base.
or
2) Open the excel spreadsheet with Calc, save as .ods and then open Base
and import the spreasheet .ods.
Both methods permit change your original data base to native LO Data
Base.
Regards,
Jorge Rodríguez
