Thanks, Francois, Yes, after I wrote the mail I found that out also, installed it and now at least databases are recognized. However, I have a MYSQL database (called "adressen") and I want it to display it as my address source in OO. But what I try I cannot get it registered (it is in /var/lib/mysql/). lso in earlier versions (long time ago) you could easily use the address book of evolution (it had it's own type). Now I cannot enter it although there is an example name EvolutionLocal but it isn't a database. Maybe there is better information on this part of OO. Joep
