Editing Data Bases

Is MS Access the only program one can use to edit the data bases? I have Open Office & am able to load the files, but I can not edit them. Something, silly, I am obviously missing.

Yes, I have Open Office. I am guessing that MS Access is the only program that will allow me to edit files. A shame, as I have the time, energy, & data to "create" a mod of some all-time college teams.

I "think" its possible to use MDB Viewer Plus ..but dont quote me on that as I have never tried...but I believe at least one person has successfully used it to edit the database. Its free so I suppose u can give it a try. I will apologize in advance if I am wrong though.

Well, "bloomington", I can not thank you enough. The program you suggested works great. Amazing, that such a tiny download solved all my...problems. Thank you, again.
My question now is...why isn't this the program of choice for editing the db files? :)
