But in deed MS Access is also splitted into two parts: The database backend engine and database tables which are available only with a JET or ADO.DB driver and the database frontend that needs the Program MS Access or at least the redistributable Access runtime to open the form frontend. The whole thing with the embedded database which transitioned the database connection configuration files (.odb) into a so called database file, is only a attempt to let Base feel more like MS Access. This is the way how Base was initially intended to be. This is on purpose, because OOo Base is mainly a frontend tool with the aim to have some forms and reports that can be used when connecting to backend databases. As far as I remember the bottom line is: You can migrate the tables and its contents, to migrate the queries is difficult (and takes often longer then rebuilding them from scratch in OOo Base) and to migrate the frontend forms is impossible.Īnd, oh I used the word frontend. One of the threads that shows up is about How do I import/convert MSAccess queries to OOBase?. Have you tried a search (in the top right area of this page inside the banner): search.php?keywords=Access+queries ?
So you have to figure this out for Access on your own (or with the help of Google). Looking at the keyword Source=srv it seems to be for MSSQL server. Unfortunately the connect string "Provider=sqloledb Data Source=srv Initial Catalog=Pubs Integrated Security=SSPI " is a nightmare. You can use this to test if ADO is working correctly on your system.

85%29.aspx has an introduction on how to use VBScript, which is included with MS Windows since Win2k, with ADO. Actually on my system I have a msado15.dll (this is what you need according to the above article series from MS) in C:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-never-ending-directory-name and in C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-never-ending-directory-name.

) seems to be the complete set that you need to operate on a database.īut as Windows 7 comes mostly with a 64 bit CPU system, it might be that the ADO installation does not work for both 64bit and 32bit. It stores all your data in an international open standard format and can also read and write files in Microsoft and iWork office.
It is available in many languages and works on all common computers. You can see this in the Registry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT: There are several ADODB.Something keys (Connection, Record, Parameter, Error. Apache OpenOffice is the leading open-source office software suite for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, databases and more.
And in deed the statement in my previous post is wrong. As the article says that ADO 6.0 comes with Windows Vista it made me double check if this is not also the case for Windows 7. Maybe this Microsoft article about ADO and its history can help you to figure out what you need.
