I had seen this file also, but again for the general user, trying to use
other than MS applications, the file might as well be written in Martian.
Sorry, it is of absolutely no help. I guess I will have to wait until
the program can be written to work somewhat like Access works,
intuitively and naturally.

I am trying to convert a large 2mb, 2600 record MS Access file to
OpenOffice, and am unable to find any simple way to do it. I've not yet
had a problem with Writer or Calc, just Base.
I cannot edit the file. What I have read indicates something about MySQL
DB - whatever that is - but does not say how I can open AND EDIT an
access file. Can I import the data and then edit it in Base? My
feeling, and fear, is that this is not going to be an easy program to use.
I've read the FAQ "cannot edit a newly created table." It made no sense
to me, as I am opening a file, not creating a file.
Is Base of of those programs where you have to be a programmer to use?
I am using XP, sp2. Dan
