I'm tasked to migrate a small organization to @libreoffice but the forms from MS Access don't come over to LO Base. Is there a way to automatically import the forms, or I actually have to manually recreate them all by hand?

@licho I don't know. But I would start by identifying the form formats that LO & Collabora Office can Import, and then try to export that from MS Access Forms.

Also try searching on github, gitlab & codeberg to see if you can find anything up to the task.

I would also search the MSO 365 app marketplace if there's a paid add on you could use.

Also try AlternativeTo by searching with related tags.

And last but not least, if all else fails, maybe AI can give you a better lead.

Good luck!

@warmaster thanks, I hoped to get the fedi hive mind opinion before struggling with the enshittified web search.

Exports and imports are what I already did and that didn't work.

I'll check the plugins.

Thanks again
