Hi All
Well I have ascertained that the principal reason that I am unable to connect to a DB using OO is that Java is not installed in OO. Java is installed on the computer but the OO-1.9 installation did not recognize this so now the first issue is how does one install Java into OO.
Since there is a principal reason there must by necessity be as least one more reason which I am sorry to say is another installation issue of software into OO. It also appears that even though there are drivers for JDBC installed in OO-1.1 which is also installed on this box that OO-1.9 does not recognize these drivers existence so again the question is how does one go about installing these drivers into OO.
The issue is not where to down load Java or the drivers or which Java and drivers are needed but in how to install both Java and the JDBC drivers.
Would appreciate a little enlightnment of how one goes about making these installations.
Thanks Frank
Hi Frank
Have you tried Tools-Options-OpenOffice.org-Java ?
On my installation OOo 2.0 Beta (1.9.79) this found my installed JRE, and gives the option to add others.
