open / load / import a dbf sheet into a .ods file (Calc)

[nicoadamo]

Hi! Is there any easy macro code to do that? I tried some code suggested in some posts, but although they work well for opening ods files, they do nothing for dbase files.
I tried a macro from this forums that displays the filters used and it returned "IBMPC_850" for the dbf I want to load. If it helps, I'm with OpenOffice 3.2 on windows mostly, although I don't see why it should be different under linux since Oo.org works under the multiplatform Java.

Thanks in advance,

Nicolás

If you are able to use the GUI to do this, then you should also be able to write a macro that will open the file and read it into a single sheet. I have done much of this sort of thing, but, it has been a very long time.

Take a quick look at this document to see if it helps:
