Created attachment 115312 [details] Screenshots Hi folks, I tried to open an Access backend by LibreOffice (also OpenOffice.org before) with always the same result. Nothing but senseless announcements about libodbc.so which does be on my pc. I just installed anything called unixODBC I could find in the YaST. I did not expect the slightest improvement at least I tried. I copied /usr/lib64/libodbc.so.2.0.0 to "libodbc" and to libodbc.so in hope that this nonsense could come to an end. If anyone can tell me any path where this foolish file the program is looking for I would copy it through all paths to make the program find it. The information offered by LibreOffice is as poor as can be. Why don't you give an idea to which place or where in the options I should enter any information to get a database running for the first time. It would be a real surprise. I repeated to link to the backend a lot of times. Presently the backend is on my server connected by NFS. I use Win 7 (a moment where Windows is really a highlight in a properly working database!!), SuSE, and Mac OS X. I try to connect with all systems but just on the most foolish OS it runs with Access. Can't be, right? If you tell me to be the last idiot to understand how it runs I would NOT be angry. I just would stop to try using this program for what it might be senseful for

Lucia: since you quoted Yast, I supposed you used OpenSuse. Anyway, could you give precise version of your Linux distrib? Robert: thought you might be interested in this tracker to shed some lights here.
As I already mentioned here: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90976 you normally install the lib with a package manager. Question here is: is libodbc (already) installed ?
Thank you MM for your feedback, I hadn't noticed this one was a dup. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 90976 ***
I have seen the screenshots. You are German, Lucia? So please download the Base-Handbuch. Here you could get the whole book: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/9/90/Base_Gesamtband_einseitig_V44.pdf This is the chapter, where the special problem you got is described and solved: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/4/48/Base_02_DatenbankErstellen_V44.pdf The Handbuch is also published here: http://de.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/ You have not to write down the path in "Registrierte Datenbanken". The libodbc.so isn't a database. A database must only be registered for better connection between database and Writer or Calc. I have no one of my own databases registered ...

In hope the prgr would find the precise name as shown by the prgr I also copied that in the same path to the other two names. No change anyway

No change anyway I wrote that I installed EVERYTHING YaST showed me by looking for unixodbc, EVERYTHING. I just would like to know of the lot of packages for what the might be a help, if there is. Someone told me about a German documentation. I'll have a look through it. My English is not too bad but with too much technical expressions I run out of understanding. At least I feel on the right way(In reply to Lucia Clemens from comment #0) > Created attachment 115312 [details] > Screenshots > > Hi folks, > I tried to open an Access backend by LibreOffice (also OpenOffice.org > before) with always the same result.
