Yeah. Sorry Frank. I'd forgotten that there were other databases involved. I assumed incorrectly that MySQL was the default. They do provide up to date connectors which work with openoffice. For free. I tried connecting via vista yesterday just for fun. It didn't work. Why would vista users want to do any serious work in the first place? Surely their time would be better spent discussing antivirus packages.
