My thanks to Jean Weber for pointing me to the information (in the documentation I might have found, had I looked) I needed to connect to an MS Access database (mdb) from OOo2 and for ensuring I got it by directly e-mailing me. Also to CPHennessy for following up to be sure I got it.
I've successfully copied data out of the mdb file, using OOo2's View|Data Sources, into calc. What I haven't been able to figure out is how to connect and select/import data similar to the fashion that Excel does with it's "Import External Data". This function (for those not familiar) links to the mdb file and imports data (allowing for sql syntax data selection) and allows for automatic updating of the linked data. I'm guessing OOo2 doesn't (yet?) provide for this type of access (confirmation requested) but hopefully will when development reaches that point (again, confirmation requested). Thanks for the help and the documentation. Jay Heiman, P.E., CFM Civil Engineering Solutions, Inc. 1325 Howe Avenue, Suite 202 Sacramento, CA 95825 Ph. (916) 563-7300 Cell (916) 599-6268 Fx.
