I never claimed differently.  But I don't like VS Code.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it (you won't), is to
replicate that simple app functionality in LibreOffice.

 Why in the name of all that is holy would you take perfectly good CSV
data, stick it in an obsolete version of Access, and manipulate it with
the equally obsolete VBA?

I built that years ago to:
  * smack down that LibreOffice junk
  * show Feeb how to access info very quickly via GUI.  The idiot thinks
    users should write their own SQL if they want information.
I may do a quick rewrite of it in PyQt and SQLite, which should run unchanged on Linux.
Hey, why don't you give the simple challenge a try?  Just so you know, it cannot be done in that piece of crap LibreOffice, so don't waste your time. But pick your poison and have at it.
The loudmouth nitwits Feeb and Larry Duh and Joel have tucked tail and run after making noise about LO being the equal of MS Office.

Or suggest using LibreOffice?

The ONLY thing I might suggest using LibreOffice for is trying to open obscure documents.

Give a man a hammer...

Why shouldn't it be in an old version of Access, using VBA?
