Indeed, that is a limitation of OOo Base. However, the Windows version
of OOo Base can read Access databases, and the Linux version (which is
what I use) will be able to soon.

In my case I had only one large table. Now that it is in OOo Base I
have no further need of conversions.

My only complaint about OOo Base is that it is written in Java. I
understand the thinking of the developers - OOo is cross platform - but
it is painfully slow on screen redraw. However, I still use it because
slow performance is better than no performance.
