Hi Tom The page lists the downloads for the data drivers needed to connect to an Access database - from anything other then Access, Base included, on a Windows OS. They don't ship with Windows and therefore the user needs to go get them. Once installed the questioner should be able to connect following the instructions in the help file. > > > --- On Mon, 6/2/12, Andreas Säger <[email protected]> wrote: > > From: Andreas Säger <[email protected]> > Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: Unable to connect to Access DB > To: [email protected] > Date: Monday, 6 February, 2012, 20:49 > > Am 06.02.2012 21:16, Donald Craig wrote: > > Running LibreOffice 3.4.5 on Windows 7 Home Premium laptop. > > Downloaded LO last week and all is fine so far with Write and Calc.
