I have developed a program using MS Access 2003. I would like to know is it possible to use the program in open office 2.0/2.4 enviroment?

How do i convert the program to be able to use in Open office 2.0/2.4 if it is necessary?

From OpenOffice white papers

OpenOffice.org can open Microsoft Office files. The reverse is
not true: at this time, Microsoft Office can not open OpenOffice.org formats.If you need to send files to someone using Microsoft Office, save your file first in the native OpenOffice.org format, then save it to one of the many supported Microsoft Office formats. By doing this, you ensure that even if the filter can not translate perfectly, you have your original in its native format.
OpenOffice.org can not open or convert Microsoft Access files (.mdb) files directly, however it can access the data in the tables using DAO and ODBC. See the Database Guide for more information.

Looks like you'd be able to read data in the database but not execute any code which makes sense if you think about it. The mdb file itself doesn't actually execute instructions, it's the MSACCESS.EXE program that actually does the executing.
