Description g3brittain 2010-03-13 19:15:19 UTC 
MSaccess 2000 cannot read dbase file from calc (OO 3.2). Calc (OO 3.1) was fine.
 The OO 3.2 dbase record delete flag has 0x00 instead of 0x20 in OO 3.1.  As a
result, MSACCESS displays #Deleted for every cell.

Other differences between OO 3.2 compared to OO 3.1
1) There is 0x03 in byte 29 of dbase header versus 0x00 in OO 3.1
2) There is also an extra byte (0x1A)at the end of OO 3.2 dbase file.

Invalid argument error when opening dbf with Access 2007.
File opens OK with Gnumeric 1.10.16.
