------- Additional comments from tony...@openoffice.org Mon Dec 22 09:39:41 +0000 2008 ------- Hi there Firstly, I don't see this as a support issue, but as a defect, as an OODb file which worked perfectly well in OODb 2.2->2.4.2, now doesn't work, is broken. I did answer all your questions. 1. I don't need to do anything to 'define the connection' I select MySQL jdbc connection from the list of available options. The database is registered via the Open Office options as 'aircraft_log_database' You can use the mysql username root, or any other username that you give permissions to the MySQL databases. 2. Each and any of the forms suffer the same issues, as soon as a macro has been run, certainly if navigating between forms. 3. The 'Start button is on the 0_Startup form yes, have you actually opened this odb file? 4. Once the New form has opened, which file? not a new file, simply a new form, which if ths odb had been tested you would see. 5. Again each and any form, not form specific. 6. The basic program, whic I assume to be a macro, is run, once the button on the form is clicked. 7. I think this is just semantics, in the same way that most peaple would view OOCalc as an application, or Firefox as an application, I'm referring to OOBase as an application, perhaps I should have said, the OOBase component of the OpenOffice application. Please actually test this, as I have said, I have tried this on a variety of operating systems, and each time yields the same result. The issues are very easy to replicate. For comparison, try the same odb file in a OpenOffice 2.4 installation, and here you will see how it should be working, and it works successfully on a variety of operating systems. Until this is resolved, I cannot move to OO3, and at this rate I'm gooing to have to seriously consider running any database front ends in Microsoft Access, in a virtual machine, which is not what I wanted to do, as I was in the process of re-writing my MS Access front ends into OpenOffice Base 2.4, but if all this work is rendered useless in OpenOffice 3 then I might have to revert to using MS Access, and look for alternatives to OO. I have been using OpenOffice, even before the 1.0 release, and I am a big fan, and really push it to people I know and deal with, and I really want it to continue from strength to strength.
