How do I import/convert my Access database to Base

We seem to be missing a couple of obvious FAQs. Probably because the page has just started and no one has got around to them yet.

How do I import/convert my Access database to Base?

As of ver 2.0 there is no direct method for this. Tables can be read from the mdb or converted to a more Base-friendly format (native Base tables, Calc spreadsheet, csv). <<Probably need some indication of method here. Or maybe reference to a separate (yet to be written) HowTo>>

Forms and reports cannot be imported and have to be re created from scratch.

There is no direct equivalent to Access macros. These have to be re created from scratch in a language supported by OOo (StarBasic, ...)

Code modules: OOo and Base do not support VBA. The code used in you Access database will have to be rewritten in a language supported by OOo.
