I have no such problem with Base 2.0 under WinXP
The second is more of an issue right now, as it really interferes
with the
reason for using OO to begin with.
I tried this morning to open the MS Access dabase that I do the most
work
with, which is the main membership list for our church. It's not a
complicated database at this point in its development. There is only
one
table, one form and a couple of queries and reports. Nothing
complicated,
yet when I tried to open it, I got the following message:
"Connection to
database could not be established. Connection to external data
source could
not be established. Unknown error. Driver is probably defective."
While the writer and presentation componants seem to be in good working
order, it looks like there are still a few glitches in the database
module.
Can you offer any ideas or recommendations?
Thanks,
Dave Roth
PS - I attempted to open another even smaller database - the
attendance list
of this summer's vacation Bible school - fewer than 50 records in a flat
file database. I got a window with language information, and then it
opened
a writer window with 3,000 pages of garbage in it.

Again, I have had no problems with MS Access databases.
Start Base, and then go to step 4 below. If you are already in Base,
start at step 1
1. File
2. New
3. Database
4. Connect to an existing database
5. select Microsoft Access, then browse for the file
Opening a database file directly in OOo will start it in Writer
