Hello, Thanks for the usefull info. If I understand it right I cannot simply replace the original Access-file by another Office Base-file. It still needs to be installed both on an other computer (Access-file + software Open/LibreOffice + link). Do You know if there is some other software (free) who can convert it? Thanks, M.D.BOLLE

The underlying models are quite different between the two. In general, you have to recreate forms and reports after making the data tables accessible (generally through a connection, or by copying them into Base's internal HSQLDB database).
