Which version of Java do you have? If you are using 1.4, then upgrade to
1.5. If you have 1.5, then try using 1.4 instead. I have seen both cause
problems, but I believe that in the final realease of OOo 2.0, you want
to use 1.5. I have never tried to open an MS Access database so I can
not comment on that!
The second is more of an issue right now, as it really interferes with the
reason for using OO to begin with.
I tried this morning to open the MS Access dabase that I do the most work
with, which is the main membership list for our church. It's not a
complicated database at this point in its development. There is only one
table, one form and a couple of queries and reports. Nothing complicated,
yet when I tried to open it, I got the following message: "Connection to
database could not be established. Connection to external data source could
not be established. Unknown error. Driver is probably defective."
While the writer and presentation componants seem to be in good working
order, it looks like there are still a few glitches in the database module.
Can you offer any ideas or recommendations?
Thanks,
Dave Roth
PS - I attempted to open another even smaller database - the attendance list
of this summer's vacation Bible school - fewer than 50 records in a flat
file database. I got a window with language information, and then it opened
a writer window with 3,000 pages of garbage in it.
