--- Comment #7 from Thomas Krumbein <tk at mic-consulting.de> ---
Additional informations regarding this bug:

all Windows 64 bit versions of LO do not support access 2007 *.mdb databases
any more. You will get every time the provided error-message.

Even it is not possible to create an ODBC access to those databases via MS
Windows system in 64 bit environment. Only 32bit environment is supported. 

But when you have installt a 64 bit LO on a 64 bit Windows system (with makes
sense;)) - you cannot access the 32 drivers. 

So: two suggestions:

1.) Remove the support for Access 2007 (*.mdb) from all 64 bit MS Windows
compilations  - so no user will run in trouble.

2.) Rework the filter - but I guess, this is not an easy task;)


For all users:  Install LO 32 bit and you will have access to *.mdb databases. 

Create then a new base-document (tested with hsqldb) - drag&drop the tables
from mdb-file to hsqldb file (you have to add typicly a unic-key field and you
have to rearrange the columns data-width). This base document with all your
datas will now work even in 64bit environment.
