I already did that I downloaded the zip file, extracted the mysql-connector-java-5.1.10-bin.jar file and this is the file I specified going through Tools -> Options, and in the paragraph OpenOffice.org -> Java, clicking in the button Class Path The name I'm using as class name is com.mysql.jdbc.Driver. Perhaps am I wrong in that?
