GRAMPS geneology database I want to edit it with OpenOffice dynamically and there is no information anywhere that I have found relating to the subject. I have mailed the GRAMPS list to get further info *.grdb *.xml *.gedcom In 'connect to existing database' none of the options seem to connect to any of these formats. Extension needed? Surely OpenOffice can connect to an XML database?? ODB is XML. Thanks guys Dave .grdb is presumably a GRAMPS custom database. It may be that like Legacy it is an Access database to which the have simply changed the extension (as Legacy does). With the Legacy .fdb file It can be opened in OOo by simply changing the extension to .mdb and importing as an Access file. Might be worth a try. A Gedcom (.ged) is a file which is only used for transferring data between specially designed genealogical programs. It is a simple text file and can be opened in Notepad and Wordpad. If you really want to then open it in OOo you can save it as .txt. Ron Ferguson
