You're right, of course. We started talking about keys, but then somewhere the word 'button' started getting used to refer to keys. However Tom's reference to the 'Edit File' button to toggle between 'read only' and 'edit' was correct usage--though it may have put 'button' rather than 'key' into our heads.

Alex Hi Alex, Thanks for your offer! I use a 32bit architecture on Mint-Nadia. Yes, I will gladly try out the connector you built for Maya. Please send it to hc.stoellin...@aon.at. I have of course used both JDBC- and ODBC-based connectors in the past. But if I can, I avoid both of them, partly for the reason that installation (of the ODBC-version in particular) is more work, but also because I have found them to be buggier. I also assume that they use more resources. Altogether I feel that a well-performing, stable connector to the widely used relational DB-systems is a MUST for any serious application where data structure is non-trivial and where a sizeable amount of data has to be dealt with. So - if AOOffice can produce something which works cross-OS then we should try to get something working also in LO.

Hi :) I am not quite sure what the proposal is but here is the link https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport I like the way OpenSource tends to have many different ways of doing the same thing. To some extent it seems most programs do but OpenSource sometimes goes a bit further in offering some really odd methods.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: MySQL-Connector
Looks like it, Alex! As I said before, I don't really want to use the Java version, it never worked well for me either on Linux OR on Windows. Also, isn't there a kind of strategy to diminish the dependence on Java in LO? If so, this would be yet another reason to avoid JDBC. ODBC on the other hand requires more effort to set it up, especially on a variation of system platforms... So, it seems to me that the way to go MUST be a native connector.

There, the connector is built by another volunteer, using the SDK, i.e. in theory, it produces an OS version agnostic mysql connector. However, the differences in code trees between LO and AOO now mean that the connector for AOO no longer works in LO4, or at least, that is what Heinrich has reported (and Robert too, I believe).

Re: Problems unsubscribing from list was: [libreoffice-users] MySQL-Connector
Hi :) This link http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ The instructions say to send an email to users+h...@global.libreoffice.org but often the users+ bit looks like it's not part of the address. That users+ bit is crucial! So it's the entire line there that needs to be used as the address. Do you get the confirmation email or do you never receive that?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Link Base to External Spreadsheet

Then save the spreadsheet, close and then reopen Base. The new tables should show up in the database. And as you have discovered, you will want to name each new sheet with the name you want for the table.

[libreoffice-users] Ubuntu PPAs for 4.0.x Stable?
Anybody know when the PPA for 4.0.x will be populated? I'm in no rush and can obviously download the .deb files. However, would make deploying to 30 computers a tad easier.

Can I link to only one spreadsheet at a time? I have data in four different spreadsheets that I need to consolidate into one large report. The data in those spreadsheets changes every week. I don't want to have to copy and paste the data from those four spreadsheets onto the appropriate tab of linked spreadsheet every week.

I am actually using a MySQL-server over the internet. It works o.k Regards H More information: My laptop is 192.168.2.101 and the MySQL server is on 192.168.2.100. The database I want to access is Budget. I entered Budget as the database name, Server as 192.168.2.100, port is 3306. I then test the connection, enter the user name and password. The error message I get is Host '192.168.2.101' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server. I am using the MySQL JDBC driver, and when I click the Test Class button, I get the message The JDBC Driver was loaded successfully. Any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong? --Dan Sounds like the server is not configured to allow you access. Since the IP addresses for the server and your computer are on the same LAN, I can assume the MySQL server is on another computer on the same LAN. You don't say if you did this in mysql: GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO username@hostname IDENTIFIED BY `password` WITH GRANT OPTION; Note that the hostname should be the IP address of your laptop, or 192.168.2.101 . Note that the IP address may need around it due to the periods and numbers. If not, the server will not allow you access. The laptop is not registered as a trusted computer. You must have done this for your other computer, but you need to do it for all computers you need access for. Or, if you are brave, you can use % for any host: username@%. Or, better yet, you can limit access to your LAN: username@192.168.2.% For further information, this can be found in the MySQL reference manual under Access Control, Stage 1: Connection Verification. Hope this helps.
