Hello
I don't mean to harp or badger but you documentation that you have about
MySQL and OO seems a little out of date. Maybe I just need some sleep.
However I am using OO-2.0 and I am trying to connect to a MySQL database
that I have, I just want to bring the data into a spread sheet. Anyways
the documentation that is supplied is for a) windows or b) OO version
1.0. Now as I try to follow the instructions in 1.0 I have to stop
because the setup is not the same, I don't have what they show in the
screen shots. I do not have a way to access a data source with an odbc
connection from calc. Now that I think about it I downloaded and
installed FC5 which installed OO but I have everything but base. is that
normal? and can I just download base? I couldn't find a seperate
download for base on the website.

Hi Dave, yes we do need more volunteers to update the manuals that
previous volunteers gave to us. We have some updated spanish manuals on
OOo 2.0 (with Base). Here is my experience, I have had many issues
understanding odbc under linux and I end up giving up on unix-ODBC
unfortunately I didnt find the resources to make it work on Linux.
I did tried JDBC which is supplied under the mysql-connector-JDBC this
work flawlessly as long as I have the JRE running, I tried it with SUN's
and Blackdown and they both work pretty good.
