I currently have a ooo database set up on my Ubuntu box.

I would like to migrate it to my Windows XP Pro machine instead.

When I open the database on the Windows machine it seems to work OK except I get an error when trying to open a form

"The document "*" could not be opened".

Also the options to create a new form are greyed out.

Tables open fine, queries run OK but not forms.

To be honest I didn't expect it to work at all.

Is it possible to make it work correctly or do I have to create a new database on the Windows PC? If the latter, how do I get the data from the original database into the new one?

Didn't realise, but you need Write installed for forms to work. Since I already have MS Word I hadn't installed Write.

All working now.
