Not a lot of interest in the subject in here?

Anyway, long story short, I cloned the hard drive in my Windows 7 computer and installed it in another computer. I removed the password from my Access database and copied it over.

Using the old Open Office Base I tried opening the Access database- it appeared to do so but did not act right. (As in it appeared to lock up when I tried to open one of the tables.) None of the queries or Forms or reports came across either.

So I uninstalled the old Open Office and installed the latest version - 7. It opened the Access database, and 'put' the tables into a new Base database and, as before, no queries, forms, or reports came with. Just the tables and data. But at least the tables opened this time.

When I tried creating a Base database from scratch, as before it insisted I must have a Java Run Time Environment (JRE). So I installed the JRE and now it opens and I had no problem creating a simple table . . . But until I get and study some documentation on the 'how - to's' I will have an impossible learning curve to overcome.

Now. Being as I have an XP machine with Microsloth orifice 2000 and can run my database all I like with no problems . . . And being as I'd rather be studying Algebra and Python computer programming . . . I don't see me spending a lot of time on this subject.
