MS Access to OpenOffice.org Base

Greetings everyone, I wasn't sure to write on this section or in UNO API section

I'm actually developing a GNU/Linux tool to permit data export from MS Access mdb database tables to an OpenOffice.org HSQLDB databases.
Such tool is not yet perfect for a couple of weird behaviours/bugs hard to track for me but generally works fine.

So I'm currently searching for:
- app testers to track bugs for current and future releases
- app users to just use the program
- api/python-uno developers to fix bugs
- graphic artists to enhance interface design and to provide a decent icon (the actual is of another program of mine)

The program is under GPL-2+ license and it was built on GNU/Linux Ubuntu 8.04/8.10/9.04 with default OpenOffice versions.
It requires python 2.x, python-gtk2, python-glade2, python-uno, mdbtools and of course OpenOffice.org Base.
Attached below are some screenshots.

If someone is interested in partecipate, please let me know.

Welcome to the forum!
This forum where users help users, not so much developers here.

I suggest that you submit your offer in Base mailing lists for users and developers.

Hi Muflone,
I would be interested in partecipating.
I am a user, I have a pretty large Database in MSAccess and wuld be keen to import it completely into OpenOffice. The problem is that it contains hundreds of MAsks and Reports, so I either import it totally or give it up.
By the way I use Vista Home at present, going into Windows 7.
Can you help?


Thanks
