This is in Windows 10 Professional. The database is called Members1Dababase.odb. Right clicking on this file the drop down menu does not give an extract selection, so I rename file giving it a .zip extension and right click on the file again. Still there is no extract selection in the drop down menu. Strange thing if I rename the file so that it has no extension and bring up Libre Office Base, the main screen showing recent files accessed shows the file without the extension. clicking on the file still brings up the database along with report menu as if the program does not need the .odb extension to work properly. How can I make this an extractable file without using winzip if that even works in this case?
I was able to do this in a previous version of Windows
I am trying to follow the following tutorial - https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum… Steps D. and E. tell me to do the extraction. The link you have me click on appear to me to be a tutorial to set up a split database initially with no table or forms/reports yet created, not create a split database from a operational embedded database. Am I interpreting this correctly? Also, the I am not a robot keeps coming out in Spanish. How do I get it to be in English
I am new to the forum concept. By adding a comment am I updating my question? If not, how do I update my question?
Unsure as to why you are trying to extract files from the .odb for purpose of a “split db”. All you really need to do is follow the instructions on this post (click here), then open both the old and the new DB’s, then copy each component from the old DB and paste into the new DB. Whole process takes less than 10 min. No need to open the archive.
Edit 10/22:
I forgot about the post you are using. Haven’t used that process in over a year.
First your original question poses the problem of extraction in Win10. Haven’t used Win 10 since the Beta so I don’t have an absolute answer. To continue with your original direction, I would try a different archive manager such as 7-Zip.
I’ve now changed to using the procedure mentioned above - creating a new split DB and copying the components from the old to the new db. This has the newer version of the HSQL database (which I know you can add to the other process). Since I hadn’t done this in a few months, I just now converted a demo DB of mine into a split DB. Only need to complete steps 3, 5 and 6 now so that takes less than two minutes. Copying the files over a couple of minutes. Finally I re-name the .odb to the original name. The whole process was easily less than 10 minutes.
The choice is yours. It appears you only need to find a proper extraction tool for Win 10 although I don’t understand why renaming file to “xxxx.zip” doesn’t work.
This “I am not a robot” - I never see and do not know how to get English vs Spanish.
I am trying to follow the following tutorial - [Tutorial] Splitting an "embedded HSQL database" (View topic) • Apache OpenOffice Community Forum.

@Ralph2, First, this is a question and answer site, similar to StackExchange. Please update your question above if you have further info about the question, unless you are answering your own question. The reason for this is simple. This ask.libreoffice.org is really just a database, which is by definition: A body of knowledge that allows you to ask a question and find an answer. For this to work, the questions need to be in the questions, and the answers need to be in the answers sections.
THIS AIN’T AN ANSWER !
Thanks for the correction, I’m new to to this format, but i’m learning.
