I have just started using Mac LIBREOFFICE in the hope that I could open an ACCESS .mdb or .ACCDB file.

Looks like this cannot be done. I have an ODBC utility for the Mac but there is nothing to help connect to Access.

ACCDB file extension is developed by Microsoft. Click to view the category to which the file type belongs. Also, see the list of all software and programs that open.ACCDB file extension in all operating systems including windows, Linux, Mac OS, Android, and in IOS. Is there one way to open unknown files? Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. ACCDB) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them. ACCDB MDB Explorer is a tool designed to provide a quick and easy way to view ACCDB, MDB, ACCDE and MDE database files without an Access license. This application can be used to open tables from multiple access databases, having table structure described in term of column, index and relation.

hope someone can help.

Thanks,John

You would need to use the separate ODBC utility to add MS Access sources, and then they would be available to LO through a new ODBC connection. Does that work?

The ODBC utility does not have ACCESS for Mac. Could someone please direct me to one for the Mac

I get hits in a search engine with those search terms, and see a $40 solution that I have not tested. I would not expect to see an open source solution for those specific platforms.

UPDATED JUNE 2017: Prices updated and a 6th app added…
