I think he's right. After I posted my comment yesterday, I rec'd a phone call via a reference, and have an idea I'm going to run into this problem of what to do with an Access database. So, if there's a conversion to any database for Linux, I'm "all ears!" This particular company is small......only 10 users total, and from what I little I know at this point, the number of fields used would be minimal, in which case I could simply build a database in Base and import from a comma separated export from Access. The owner has "had it" with MickySoft and would like to dump it entirely.
