Hi, I have a backup of a database in Access which I no longer use. How can I transfer (open) this in OOo database? There is no import facility and in 'Open all files' Access files are not even mentioned. Thanks.
Base doesn't really have an "import" type capability; instead, it uses "connections" to existing databases (like those from Access), and copy/paste operations, to create (or populate) its tables. As far as transferring an Access database, you can get the data tables, but other things (queries, forms, reports) will have to be recreated in Base. There is quite a bit of documentation about this, including the Base help info and Wiki articles. This is probably a good starting point:
