I am trying to open an MS-Access file (version may be 2000) in Base but nothing is showing when the file is opened. Neither the tables nor the forms, nothing. In Kexi I am getting the message ...
"Import failed ... No appropriate migration driver found "
This file is opening correctly in Access. I tried ODBC driver setup also. But there is nothing found in ODBC driver selection.
Please suggest how should I open it. Please advise step by step as I am not an advanced user.
Thanks for the link. Though my problem seems to be there. The guide was mainly for windows. I tried the "Creating a Data Source within OOo" section. But here again the problem remains that in Tool-Options-OpenOffice Base-Database-New section there is no option to choose ODBC. It is only asking for Database file name and Registered name.
I think you are out of luck here. ODBC is as far as I know a windows only technology. If you try to get access to an MS Access database, you could try to run OOo under the Windows emulator WINE.
Thanks for your suggestions. I will check them surely.
I had to use Windows this time to get the job done. In the meantime I found OO has released 2.2, in which they have added some more features in Base. So I will try my luck with OO 2.2 first. Thanks again for the help.
