Impossible to connect to a Microsoft Access database in LibreOffice 25.2 with UCanAccess and jdbcDriverOOo 1.6.2
10:43 09 Feb 2026

I need to edit the content of a MDB file under Debian Linux 12 with LibreOffice. I tried to use the solution mentioned in the documentation (relying on UCanAccess) without success. Then, I tried to use the LibreOffice extension named jdbcDriverOOo and I got the same error message "Impossible to establish the connection". I entered the JDBC URL ///home/gouessej/Downloads/KAR.MDB for the file /home/gouessej/Downloads/KAR.MDB. OpenJDK 21.0.9 (the JDK, not only the JRE) is installed on this machine. What am I missing?
