>>This bug (MS Access databases cannot be opened since LibO 3.4) is a serious problem for several cpmpanies that migrated from >>MS Office to LibO (including the company I work for).
>>Comment 11 from Alex Thurgood gives a possible cause, but:
>>-I am not familiar with the make system of LibO;
>>-I am not sure is this can be tested on a Linux machine (I can't build a Windows version of LibO, I use openSUSE Linux);
>>-I am still a newbie with hacking in LibO.
 
>>However, I want to help wherever I can with this problem. Is there anyting I can do to (help) solve the bug, preferably with >>guidance from an expert?

>If you want to help, you need to get your hands on a Windows machine to test builds on.
>Preferably something with lots of cores and a reasonable amount of memory (4G or more) because the windows build is quite >slow.

Sorry, I don't have a Windows machine available with lots of cores and memory. Neither do we have MSVC++.
I'll have to wait till someone who does have such a machine (and time) picks up the bug...
