I have a .accdb file created with Microsoft Office 2010 and I want to know if it is possible to open it with some native Ubuntu application like LibreOffice or OpenOffice, I know LibreOffice has LibreOffice Base but I can't figure out how to open or if it's even possible to open a .accdb file.

Is there any way I can open a .accdb file without Wine or VirtualBox?

As mentioned here it says it supports Access files but if we look deeper they have only tested in LibreOffice up to Office 2007.

Since you have an Office 2010 I would suggest trying out this link since other users by the look of this have already tried.

Additionally the compatibility shown here says how good LibreOffice Base is when relating to Microsoft Access 2010. At least up to version 3.6.

There is also a question on the Ask Libreoffice site about this that mentions this link where it is said that the 2007 format is different from the 2010 so it will not work correctly in LibreOffice 3.6 or below.

My only recommendation that does not include Wine or VirtualBox would be to use MS Office 2010 to save the Access file as a 2007 version (If possible) or a MDB format. At least while LibreOffice works on improving compatibility with 2010 in general.
