Hi, I generally don't provide support advice here as it conflicts with my business. However since you are always helping others, I thought I'd offer a brief response.

There are many things that Base can't do that MS Access can do. It all depends on what you need.

I see nothing wrong using MS Access with OpenOffice.org in this way. As an Access developer I think this is a good approach. Set up the MS Access database as a data source. This is done by creating a New Database document in OpenOffice.org 2.0 Use the option to connect to an existing database and connect to the Microsoft Access database. Save the Database document. The MS Access database is now available as a data source. Next start exploring the Mail Merge facilities in OpenOffice.org. My website has material on using MS Access with OpenOffice.org. Unfortunately it requires payment so it is not suitable for everyone. The MiniBook available on my website "OpenOffice.org Query functions and MS Access databases" shows the power of the combination of MS Access and OpenOffice.org. It also provides tips, at least one that I believe is critical for MS Access users to know. > > > > merci pour votre aide. > > > > TIA, > > > -- > > @+ Coyote > > Note : Pour répondre par email, effacer le '_sup' de l'adresse. > > > > To reply, delete sup from the address > > > Alex > Regards, Kelvin Eldridge Online Connections Website: www.onlineconnections.com.au MyAnswers: www.MyAnswers.biz MyAds: www.MyAds.biz OzEfilter: www.OzEfilter.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
