Oops -- sorry, I know you're not opening the mdb file but trying to
connect to it. It seems as if when Base tries the connection, it's
recognizing the file is protected but is supplying a default "password"
instead of asking for one.

It seems to imply that a dialog will open automatically if a password is

OK, send it along -- I'm on 2.4.1 and VistaHP, also, so we'll see what
happens. You won't see anything under Queries, Forms, or Reports,
because none of that comes across from Access, and Base won't test the
connection at that point.

If the file extension is .mdb, not .mdbx, it shouldn't be an Access 2007

Hmm. Connection to an existing database is what you want, but it sounds

it and see the tables. You won't be able to view or copy in the tables

You can connect to .mdb's just fine using ODBC and utilise the data within.

Hi all,
I just installed the newly released english version of open office on my intel
mac, and need to be able to open, or at least import all tables, queries, etc.,
from mdb files.
Can Open office do this directly, or do I need to save them out of access
individually first as dbf files?
Thanks
