Yes, I have a test file. When I connect using the "Microsoft Access 2007" option, I can open the table, but not edit it.

I'm not sure about an Access 2010 file, but I can easily edit the NWind.mdb file in LO 3.5.3. Note: to edit the date in the table, you use 'Open' rather then 'Edit'. 'Edit' allows you to edit the Field names etc. Also note that LO 3.5.3 (Windows version) has dropdown selections for 'Microsoft Access' and 'Microsoft Access 2007'. I do not know if 'Microsoft Access 2007' includes Access 2010. Do you have a test file? When you right click on the table & select 'Open' what occurs? Does the table open for you? -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
