Hi 2.0.4 openoffice from SuSE doesn't let me save database forms created with the wizard. I downloaded 2.2.1 and it does let me save forms but only via the inbuilt database.

I'm using OpenOffice_org-2.2.1-43.1 in opensuse 10.2 and I can. But I had to play with the java versions. From memory, I think I'm using the one from Sun (via suse's rpms, version 1.5.0_12), and I had to install the mysql-connector-java-3.1.12-35 rpm. I can connect to my MySQL databases, but I haven't tried forms.
HTH.
The latest version of mysql-connector was 5.x.x last time I looked and I have at least one thing running (funambol) that requires this version or better of the connector, (BTW the connector is from the MySQL people). The standard SuSE RPM distribution is still 3.x.x is therefore a bit problematic in this area as you tend to need to deploy both versions if you require the latest version for anything. I have not tested out 5.x.x with OpenOffice. (It would be interesting to find out if anyone had, as it would simplify things just to have the one version). - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
