MS Access db

Post by nzlowie »

Hi all,

I have an old MS Access database that's written in Office 2007 I think, its a customer and job tracking program that does everything I need.

It used to be fine on my old machine but now won't work with the new versions of Office. Not going to pay to have it redone.....

As my wife's computer has OpenOffice loaded I thought..... Can this old Access file be run from Base???? If so will it look and work much the same as my wife (and a couple of the workers) don't like learning new computer programs.

Many thanks in advance.
