As mentioned here it says it supports Access files but if we look deeper they have only tested in LibreOffice up to Office 2007. Since you have an Office 2010 I would suggest trying out this link since other users by the look of this have already tried. Additionally the compatibility shown here says how good LibreOffice Base is when relating to Microsoft Access 2010. At least up to version 3.6. There is also a question on the Ask Libreoffice site about this that mentions this link where it is said that the 2007 format is different from the 2010 so it will not work correctly in LibreOffice 3.6 or below. My only recommendation that does not include Wine or VirtualBox would be to use MS Office 2010 to save the Access file as a 2007 version (If possible) or a MDB format. At least while LibreOffice works on improving compatibility with 2010 in general. |

I know this reply may be a bit late but I must write it down for future documentation if anyone would look it up. When it comes to develop apps in Base as you were doing in MS-Access, I think you would find Gambas to be a better solution. Gambas is an open source alternative for Visual Basic (please visit this link). I know that they have improved their IDE since version 3.x and it is on stable release. Gambas has great & simple connectivity to MySQL (My favorite) and to PostgreSQL. Plus, it has multi socket capability and much more. In the long run, if you have any experience with VB at all, and you are willing to invest several hours to get to now the new VB IDE and coding rules (which are not much different from MS), I would strongly suggest trying Gambas. |
