Can I open a ms access file in libreoffice?

I have cd with data from another pc I want to open but I do not have microsoft access on this machine.

You cannot open a MS Access database in LO Base. You can create a Base database and link to the tables in an Access database. Forms, Reports. and Queries will have to be created in Base.

EDITED 30/04/16

If the Access database was created using Access 2007 or later you can get free from Microsoft the MS Access Runtime program. Thia allows you to open and run a database. You can’t modify it in any way. It is efectively Access with all the deaign features removed.

Definitive Answer…Export your MS ACCESS database to .Xls…what’s even “SWEETER” you don’t have to even create a table ahead of time to accept the data…Simply Open the .xls in libre calc…copy the data like you see in the video …open Librebase…then click PASTE…all easy from there
