[Eug-lug] File Maker Pro Database to Open Office Database frustration

[Harald Sundt]

What I want to do:

I can only seem to save my Apple Macintosh Filemaker Pro database in 
formats that Open Office can open as Spreadsheet files!

Is there a way get my Apple Macintosh Filemaker Pro database into a Open 
Office database?

Is there anyway to turn a Spreadsheet file into an OOo Database file?

What I tried to do:

I Made a OOo Base .odb Form read a .xls file I made in Filemaker but 
can't edit or input data in form even though I skipped step 6.

I gave myself permissions to read, write and execute both .xls data 
source file and the .odb file I created to use its data.

I am new at this..what am I missing?

Thanks
