While it is wonderful you are getting companys to change over completely to Open Office the Question being asked is
Am I able to share my database file (created in OpenOffice Base with users of Microsoft Access? I may not be able to give a complete answer but I DO NOT believe you can. While possible to convert MS Access File (*.mdb) to OpenOffice Base File (*.odb) Once Using Open Office BASE Save As Only allows you to save in Native (*.odb) format under a different Name and Export appears to Be Unavailable. If anyone can describe how to use export (which may allow to save under different formats I also would like to know how make a copy of an OpenOffice Base File that can be shared with Microsoft Users.
