Dear Sirs.
After downloading and installing OOo 2.0 for both Windows, and Linux
(i86) I was gratified to find that in the Windows version I can at least
import tables from an M$ Access database. I was extremely disapointed
however to find that the same capability does not exist in the Linux
version. On top of that disapointment, when I saved an imported
database in the Windows version of OOo, the Linux version would not open
it.
While some work has been done on the OOo Base application, a lot of work
remains to be done. If M$ Office users are going to switch from M$
Access to OOo Base, ALL versions (Windows and Linux) of the app need to
be able to open an M$ Access database, and save it to an OOo database
and have EVERYTHING work exactly as it did in M$ Access. Nothing less
will satisfy most M$ Access users. While such a conversion might be
complex, even requiring another external app, it should be possible.
The other OOo apps that I have tried work very well (I have never been
an M$ Word fan...Wordperfect is much much better!). I hope that work
will continue on the Base app to make it capable of complete conversion
of M$ Access Databases to OOo database format.
Keep up the good work, and thanks for a good alternative to Micro$haft
software!
