In addition to the advise from others on the list, please see: http://www.openoffice.org/FAQs/ms-access/ms-access.html http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Database Note that you can only import the table data, not the reports. To get Access 97 working on Vista, these _might_ be of help (I don't know for sure as I do not have Vista and instead run Win2KPro in a VirtuaBox machine via linux to run Access 97): http://allenbrowne.com/bug-17.html http://allenbrowne.com/ser-38.html Note: if you get Access 97 working on Vista, I strongly recommend that you migrate the data into an alternate database.
