Thanks! That did it. Now I have mdbtools running and it works fine. > If you have problems linking with Kexi using the instructions Drew > provided, as he pointed out, you can run the Windows version of OOo; > this actually runs pretty well under Wine.

It is nice to have the option to use mdtools, but I really like Kexi. It didn't import my queries from the Access file, but I can replicate them later. All the data is fine, and the user interface is super. I'd use Base except that it is slow, clunky and hard to figure out. I'd much rather figure out how to use Kexi (which uses sqlite3 format) as my database. The only problem I have with it is merging data from Kexi into other apps. I can't even get KWord to see it. And it can export only one table at a time, and only as .csv. Thanks again for the help. I keep making progress! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
