Happy New Year All, I hope you all had a happy holiday. Oddly enough, this e-mail isn't to request assistance although I did post this problem quite a while back and was not able to resolve it.
Ever since I got my new desktop computer slightly over a year ago, I have been trying to set up a connection in Open Office Base to a MySQL data base. I couldn't get it working with ODBC. I had this working on my laptop, so it wasn't a huge issue not to have it on my desktop, but hey, I'm stubborn so, periodically, when I did a sync to my computer, I would try again. Yesterday, I decided to try it using JDBC. Admittedly, I had some issues, but googled and finally got all things resolved so I now have the connection set up in OO Base. I also learned a few things so perhaps now I could even get the ODBC connection working if I wanted to. I'm not a "techy", just what you might call a "power user". Just goes to show you that even an old bat like me can run Linux which is why I will never believe that Linux is too hard to learn .... for some maybe so, but if you have the desire to learn, you can do it, IMHO! :-) Anyway, that's all I have to say.
