[Qgis-user] mdb and QGIS in Ubuntu 12.04 with UbuntuGis

[nikos ves]

Hey Jesus,


When you say " The point is that there is people able to work with QGIS
in Ubuntu and .mdb files " what do you mean?

You can't open the files? Qgis doesn't recognize them? 
Can you be more specific on what seems to be the problem?
