Make sure you also have mdbtools-gmb installed. I looked at the properties for mdbtools in my Applications menu... surprise, the command line is: gmdb2 I just tried it from the command line and that works on my Gnome system. Why they'd use gmd2 rather than 'mdbtools' is beyond me. 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. Just download the Windows version & install via Wine. In all cases you will only be able to work with the tables - forms etc., are not supported. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
