Gary, I have been using the latest development build of OpenOffice. Why don't I start with the MySQL Connection Tutorial......I am running on a Windows machine, and don't have Linux yet, so I'll only be able to help out with the Windows documents.
I'll get with Jean when I have time and get set-up for the Authors site. I look forward to working with you.
