Hi,
thanks for that encouragement - Better&Better will probably be the place
to pursue the IBM angle. However Openoffice.org have also proven that
they are willing and able to modify OOo specifically for U2 if there
are enough requests from users for similar features/fixes - they have
already done so in the past. So, the request is still for the U2
community to take 10 minutes each (in total that adds up to a lot of
hours) and vote on the Openoffice.org issue. There are many
opportunities to take advantage of OOo, not just as an office suite but
as an integrated part of U2 applications, especially if you are looking
for similar MSOffice functionality/API on Linux/UNIX.
Thanks to those who have already voted. Apart from my own vote 5 other
U2 users have used 2 of their votes on this issue.
Regards
Ian Stuart

Ian,
U2UG has established a committee that is charged with bringing
fixes and enhancements to IBM's attention. The Committee,
Better&Better, is currently looking for a new chairman to continue
that work. As soon as B&B has a new head, it would be the best place
for you to push forward with from this angle.

An issue has been reported on the OpenOffice.org Bugzilla system. But
to try and give some impetus to resolving this issue I am
"soliciting" the support of this forum to vote on this issue on the
OpenOffice.org site as well as to prevail on IBM to cooperate with
OpenOffice.org to resolve the issues with JDBC/ODBC and OpenOffice.
However, there are still a number of issues to be resolved, including
being able to update tables via JDBC ie. although one can create
UniVerse tables from within OOo you cannot insert, update or delete;
there is a date format problem - see issue 49043, table names have to
be "aliased" in the VOC etc. etc.
