Well, I have now played a bit with the interface between OOo and MS Access. Our office DB is in Access in two parts: an mdb file on each office XP Pro box containing the queries, forms and reports, and a second mdb file (actually on a Linux share) containing tables. The two are linked via the linked table manager.
I registered the queries, forms and reports mdb on one of the XP machines, but locked up. Apparently, a db with no tables caused it indigestion. Connection was via ODBC. Alternatively, it hung because it couldn't see the second DB. Hard to say. I can get to the tables easily enough in the second mdb (actually, I probably should move that to MySQL), but it would be sooo nice not to have to re-write all the forms, queries and reports..
