This driver does not reflect the latest development, if possible, please use the latest OOo snapshot from http://ooo.services.openoffice.org/pub/OpenOffice.org/cws/upload/mdbdriver02/. Be aware that both the downloadable driver and the complete OOo snapshot which contains it are work in progress. Make backups, and don't rely your business on it ...
