[libreoffice-users] Base - No SDBC driver found!!
Hi All As always I seem to be battling again with my Database!! I've just updated to Linux Mint 12 KDE which includes LO. BUT it would not even run on my new set-up. So I removed it and installed OO in it's place. The new OO did not seem to like my 'Input Form' so I re-created it. BUT - it takes for ever to save and most of the time DOES NOT save the information!! (This is a problem I've had with both OO and LO) So I removed OO and re-installed LO 3.4.3 and jdk 1.6.0_21. Now when I try to Open my DB I get the error No SDBC driver found!! I've Googled about this and it looks as if this is a known current Bug that has not been fixed. I even tried to create a new Database (which it did OK) and then renaming my old file to this name but I still get the same error!! Is there an answer to this - I HAVE to get my DB up again URGENTLY Thanks a lot / Ian Whitfield Pretoria /// -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Hello Ian, Well, it sounds as if somewhere along the line you started picking up the HSQLdb jar distributed by the upstream project, rather then the jar file distributed with the application. This has been a recurring problem, fixed and then un-fixed a couple of times. Not to worry though, no real harm done. So - did you by any chance update the java settings in LibO to include the HSQLdb distributed jar so that you could connect to an external HSQLdb server? If so, simply back that out and the problem will correct itself. //drew -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

It sounds like you may have encountered an issue with some corruption in your user profile, which can just as easily happen in Openoffice (so switching to it will *not* make you immune to something similar in the future). You would be unwise to make a knee-jerk decision based on one little thing like this, especially when using a major new version that you were *warned* may have some issues (you *did* read the release notes, right?). Also, fyi, 3.4.3 was the version of the 3.4.x series that was recommended for people to switch to as the new stable version, so complaining about a version that is older than that with known issues, without at *least* switching to the most current version first, is just dumb. I understand that 3.5 will do something similar, but probably with less serious chances of breakage. I *always* wait until at least two or 3 point releases of a major version update before switching en masse to it On other possibility - do you *upgrade* (install over the top of the old version) when updating, or do you do a full uninstall/reinstall?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base - No SDBC driver found!!
Hi :) The HSqlDb version that is embedded in Base is a bit poor compared to using the proper version of HSqlDb and then use that as a back end with Base as the front-end. I think the result is that it looks like 2 files but works a LOT better. It's just the implementation inside Base is less than great. There are other back-ends that might be better if you are going for a larger database but HSqlDb is quite good and very fast if the database is going to be fairly small. For example Postgresql or MariaDb/MySql might be great for a large database but not so great for a simple address book or something.

[libreoffice-users] RE: QuickStarter
Thanks to everyone who responded to me about Quickstarter preventing me from loading the latest version of LibreOffice. All the suggestions presumed that I had an earlier version of LibreOffice installed, which I did not. My fault for not being more specific in my request for help. I tried all the suggestions, but none of them worked. I took the path of least resistance and downloaded an earlier version of the program. All is OK now. Thanks again.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Printer always selects PDF instead of Postscript
Hi :) Sadly some dialogues do appear to be different/missing in certain DEs. We have only noticed the 1 example so far afaik but where there is one there may be others. Happily, now is a great time to post bug-reports or add comments to old reports to confirm where things are still not quite right in your opinion. Sometimes old bug-reports from OOo need to be re-posted against LO because so much divergence has already happened that it would be good to know what issues people still want fixed. A LOT of old problems are getting fixed and sometimes not even by focussing on the individual bug-reports because code-clean-up is likely to have fixed a whole bunch of issues (and perhaps created a few new ones that need to be cleared-up quickly). Sometimes it might just be your opinion and people decided to go the other way but often such decisions are up for discussion and possibly changing. This is a great time to get involved with just bug-reporting but stepping it up to doing triaging and anything more just helps you get even more out of the project :) Regards from Tom :) --- On Tue, 24/1/12, John Jason Jordan joh...@comcast.net wrote: From: John Jason Jordan joh...@comcast.net Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Printer always selects PDF instead of Postscript To: users@global.libreoffice.org Date: Tuesday, 24 January, 2012, 19:28The appearance of the snip / dialog boxes might be different (size, color, borders, etc.), but the options should always be the same, right?

[libreoffice-users] How to transfer styles among documents created from the same template?
I have custom document template, and from this template a handful software manuals were authored. Styles were used extensively. Now it's time to modernize the look of the manuals, but we don't want to repeat the style changes in all manuals. (That's what styles are for, aren't they?) With MS Word (2000), the .doc files recorded the template. Styles can be marked so that when they were changed while editing one of the .doc files, that style changes were propagated to the template. Later, when one of the other .doc files was opened, it copied all styles from the template (automatically), which effectivly updates the other file as well. What is the workflow with LibreOffice to propagate style changes between .doc files created from the same template? I looked at the documentation and help pages around the template manager, but found only means to copy styles manually. Is there something that works more automated? -- Hannes -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

[libreoffice-users] RE: QuickStarter
Hi people, I had the same problem as Carole. Am running Windows7 64bit I have never used Libre Office before. So the error message is quite perplexing. I have tried a few times with no luck. Both re downloading and running the setup.exe from the unpack folder. Then the penny dropped. I have Open Office installed on this PC. So just end the Open Office Quickstarter as per previous reply and it installed very quickly. Have not had a chance to look at everything yet, but hope this helps someone.

[libreoffice-users] Writer
I've linked the address book of Thunderbird to LibreOffice, the same as how I linked it with OpenOffice: File/Wizards/Address Data Source/Thunderbird - NEXT. When writing a letter, or creating a label, I access the Data Source (F4), I access the Personal Address book. I then highlight the address I want, click the Data to Text icon, check the Text button, then proceed to highlight and move from the Database columns box on the left to the box on the right, all in the proper format for an address label. When I exit the Data to Text box, the address label format does not keep as I entered, using LibreOffice. I always have to reformat the text (which is time consuming and annoying). However, when I used OpenOffice, the format DID keep, so I didn't have to waste time formatting again. Why the difference? Why doesn't the format keep in LibreOffice? This is not only very annoying, it's also very embarrassing when demonstrating LibreOffice.

I always have to reformat the text (which is time consuming and annoying). What changes in formatting (thus what / how do you have to change)? Thanks for your further explanation, First, I highlight First Name in the box on the left. Then I click the between the two boxes to move the First Name to the box on the right. Then I move the cursor to the end of First Name in the right box and press the space bar. Then I highlight Last Name in the left box, click the in the middle to move the Last Name to the right box, so I have: First Name Last Name, then I move the cursor to the end of Last Name and press Enter. I then highlight Address 1 in the left box and click to move the Address 1 underneath the First Name Last Name. Then I move the cursor after the Address 1 and press Enter. I then highlight City in the left box, press to move City to the right box. I then move my cursor after City in the right box and add a comma and a space. Then I highlight State in the left box, click to move State to the right box. I then move the cursor to the right box after City, State and press the space bar twice. I then highlight the ZIP/Postal (Home) in the left box, click the to move the ZIP/Postal (Home) to the right box after City, State. Now I have the first and last name on the top line, the address in the middle line and the city, state and zipcode on the third line. This formatting is all done with the Text button checked in the upper Insert Data As: That format gives me the proper address labeling for letters, labels, etc. However, when I exit the Insert Database Columns popup, the formatting disappears in LibreOffice. However, in OpenOffice, that formatting would stay intact. Grant it, that formatting would have to be initialized for each address book database used. I hope that helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Base question - report exception on faultless query
Any time more than one table is used in a query or view, it is best to name fields with this format: table name.field name. Looking at the SQL of a query containing fields from two or more tables, this is the format used. However, when only one table is involved, the field name format is sufficient. I would still like to see the SQL for your query.
