Jim,
The replies you received from James and Marc were not quite accurate.
You can open and edit Access files in Base, BUT:
1. Reports and Queries are lost.
2. If you want to save the changes the only option is to save it as an
OpenOffice database file. This file can NOT be read by any other
database application than OpenOffice Base.

Jim:
Yes you can modify data in an Access database, if you are using the
Windows version of OpenOffice.org. It is not possible at the present
time to do this with the Unix/Linux/Mac OS X versions as they do not
have the necessary support to read and write MS Access files.
