Do I need > to download the other documents? You shouldn't need any other documents, just the New Database.odb file. If you have any OOo component open (Writer, Base, etc.) you should be able to click on Open and browse to where it is in your download directory. It should open in a new Base window. In fact, if you see the New Database.odb file in your file browser (Nautilus, Konqueror, Windows Explorer) and you double-click on it, it should just open in a new OOo Base window. Once you have it open in an OOo Base window, click on the Tables icon and it should display Test_Table. That's the part that is evidently corrupt. If you downloaded the test_form.odt document, that is a Writer document with form controls linked to New Database.odb. So the test_form.odt document will complain about not finding New Database.odb. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
