How to I join this forum in general?
======================
I have 30 years experience with MS DOS and Windows and would like to
move that knowledge to OOo. After the install, I modified the
defaults to use OOo but cannot do that with Access. I have a couple of
personal files in Access (nothing professional) that I would like to use
with BASE but cannot get any data. When I call up an Access file, I
get two lines of gibberish (to me) and that's all. Where am I going
wrong?

I have OOo 2.3 on Ubuntu Gutsy and everything is working fine. However,
now I need to merge some data from a database file created in Microsoft
Access 2000 (data.mdb). I need to merge it into a Writer text file. The
Help file isn't helping and I can't figure out how to do it. I know it
is ODBC compatible, but when I select that OOo does not show the file.
It appears that I need to "register" the database with OOo, but I am
clueless how to do that when OOo does not even see the file.
Is there a step by step how-to somewhere?
