Hi :) It is not a good time to migrate to Base. Hopefully there are other front-ends that could be used instead? Base has no devs working on it so bug-reports are not getting fixed and there are no plans to attract devs to work on Base anytime soon.

I have already succeded in runnin Access in some MS-widows emulation. I can also wiew and (to some extent) export info from MDB files trough "GNOME MDB Viewer is a grapical interface to MDB Tools. It lets you view and export data and schema from MDB files produced by MS Access 97/2000/XP/2003." What I need now is what is claimed on the LibreOffice-Base http://www.libreoffice.org/features/base/ which states that it "... provides native-support drivers for some of the most-widely employed multi-user database engines: MySQL, Adabas D, MS Access..."
