I want to create an Access Database on my F35 system so my wife can
also use it on her Windows system using Access.

So I did a quick bit of googling and found that maybe LibreOffice
Base is what I want.

So I did:

dnf install libreoffice-base

which worked, and then tried launching it and

nothing...

Any hints on getting this running?

Yes. You need to install all of LibreOffice so you can achieve interaction between LO Calc and LO Base.

I have, I think, all of LibreOffice installed.  I use Write, Calc, and Impress on a regular basis.  Interesting that Base is not installed when you do your Fedora Install and select to install the LIbreOffice Office suite.



LO Calc has the ability to import and export comma separated files (.CSV) and dBase files (.DBF).

I have done .CSV.


Your wife's Access system can export one of the importable file formats to work in LO Base, and then import from Access through LO Calc in a format that LO Calc is able to import and then provide to LO Base to use.

LO Base does not appear to have the ability to directly import and export the native Access file format, but it can send and receive appropriately formatted table files.

Humph.  This may take rethinking, as I will be expected to 'help' at times, and I can't keep importing and exporting.
