OK, I'm using OO 2.0.2
I checked the FAQ etc. and got this info:
How do I access my Microsoft Access database files in OpenOffice.org?

Unfortunately it appears 2.0 isn't quite the same menu layout and I can't
find an appropriate spot to perform this action. (Tried insert-link to
external data) and tried adding an ODBC data source as described in
McCreesh's instructions but am still not getting anywhere.
Could someone possibly submit a new set of instructions for OO 2.0
describing how to connect to an MS Access MDB.
That information is for OOo 1.X and should be updated. I don't
usually take care of the FAQs, but I'll put it on the list to do.
Meanwhile, the good news is that it's much easier to do this in
OOo2.x. This is covered in Chapter 10 of the Getting Started Guide,
