I'm new to Openoffice software and would like to create a database, but can't
find how to do this in Openoffice. I'm not sure I have the latest version.
The version I am using is 2.4.1. The problem I'm having is I don't know what
type or version of Linux I'm using, ie 32.bit DEB, 64.bit RPM or 64.bit DEB and
I can't seem to find out where to look for it.
As you might have guessed, I'm totally new to using Linux, but I like it. I am
using it on a laptop I purchased from a friend. He partitioned the drive so I
could use both Windows as a operating system and try Linux. That worked
wonderful until the Windows side became infected with a virus and now I can't
even get onto that side.
I know this is long and you have millions of emails to read, but I really need
to use the database portion of Openoffice but I can't find it in my system. I
would really like to get it started soon, so if possible could someone please
get back to me on this matter?
Thanks you,

You're definitely not using the latest version; you may be best off to
download and install a new copy from www.openoffice.org. Once you've
installed that, the Base component is what you need for creating
databases, and you probably should start by reading the Getting
Started... documentation:
/wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Getting_Started
Some of the Linux distributions apparently do not include the Base
component in their package, which may be why you don't see it. But if
you download directly, it should be there.
