Re: Connecting to database remotely
What im trying to do is create a form on my laptop (case reports for emergency medical services), fill it out on scene, and then be able to update it and be reflected in our dispatch desktop.

Re: Connecting to database remotely
Open Office has 64-bit versions so using a 64-bit version of Java with it would make the instructions just as valid.

Re: Connecting to database remotely
Hi, if you have installed a 32 bit java (I would recommend Java 8 in this case and it should be 32 bit because OpenOffice is 32 bit) and you've connected OpenOffice with the installed Java via menu item tools->options->OpenOffice->Java then you can setup a JDBC remote connection to your database click on "Database" on the OpenOffice dashboard check the "connect to an existing database" radio button then click on "Next >>>" button place your cursor into the field "Datasource URL" and press the F1 key where this kind of unified resource locator (URL) is discribed more deeply (eg. mysql://hostname:port/database_name) If you run both your desktop PC and your notebook within the same network you have to check the IP address (or hostname) of your system you want to connect to Checking the IP address of this system: press the Windows button (start menu) type cmd and open the command line type ipconfig /ALL note the IPv4 address because this is the address you have to add to the hostname part of the datasource URL You have to know the port address of the database and you have to know the name (eg. accounting) of your database you want to connect to. Maybe you need to install a database driver on your client system. This driver has to be selected then. An alternate variant can be the connection using a ODBC connection This connection has to be configured within the ODBC settings dialog (search for ODBC in Windows system settings). Once set up within your Windows system the configuration within OpenOffice is quite similar.

Re: Connecting to database remotely
You could move the data base to a file sharing application like Drop Box. It would then be accessible from any internet connected computer with OpenOffice installed on it.

Re: Connecting to database remotely
What type of database are you using? If it is embedded, you could copy the database file to the desktop and run it. Of course each time you will have to move this file from one computer. Otherwise, you will need to network the two computers so that the computers will have access to each other. (Moving the database file between computers would be easier than moving using USB stick.) Then the database should be converted into a server/client relationship on one of the computers and set up a client database file. This way both can access the database. Base can do this; there are other database engines which can also do this (MySQL and PostgreSQL are two examples.) Any further questions should be sent to this mailing list and not to me directly. (users@openoffice.apache.org) I have sent you a CC so you could see what I wrote. Others should do the same.
