Hi Roberto,

Access will not run natively in Linux. I run Ubuntu 11.04 presently. I was a windows user when I switched to Base. One reason for switching was I knew someday I wanted to migrate to Linux. It was very easy since OpenOffice worked in both platforms. I run Quicken and Dreamweaver through Wine on Ubuntu. You may need to move up to Crossover Office, but it would be likely some version of Access would work. I have not researched this though. In general, some versions of Microsoft Office do work with Crossover Office.

Yes, it may be. I am working on Ububntu based systems.
Is it possible to install MS-Access and/or SQLite native-drivers in
Linux?
Many thanks, Roberto Scotti

When I open Base if I choose to "connect to an existing database" the
list of available drivers doesn't include MS Access (or JET), it
includes only:
...
That connection is Windows only.
Does this explain what you see on your computer?
