If you need to use the database program, any forms used to enter/edit data, or reports to display or print the data, Base cannot use those. In the first case the following links provide information how to read the data. Only the first link is specific to LibreOffice Base. The other two refer to Apache OpenOffice so not all the information there may be applicable. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/Base/How_to_connect_to_a_Microsoft_Access_database https://www.openoffice.org/FAQs/ms-access/ms-access.html https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Connecting_to_Microsoft_Access Another option, if your company allows, would be a remote connection to your computer get at the database when you're out of the office. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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
