YES! James, thanks. This seems a similar error to what I get when trying to set up the Evolution addy bk. As I said in my post to NoOp, I incorrectly tracked this down to a missing libevoab2.so file in the OOo stock version, but now realise this is included in OOo stock. - I can get that error by (amongst others) navigating: Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org Base > Databases. Here I can see only the standard Bibligraphic example dbase file at: /home/myhome/.openoffice.org2.0/user/database/biblio.odb But, also in that folder is the "evolocal.odb" file created (I assume) under my previous install of the fedora OOo. If I select "New" I get a "New Database Link" dialogue and then browse to the "evolocal.odb" file which can then be selected and "Registered". (You can get to the same dialogue by selecting to show "Data Sources" in, for instance, a Writer window and right-clicking in the left-hand database selection pane and selecting "Registered Databases ..." and then selecting "New...".) - Now, having "registered" that database and having it appear in the databases selection pane, selecting the table for that database produces the error: -- "The connection to the data source "evolocal" could not be established." with a "More" button -- Selecting that "More" button gives additional info: --- "Error": SQL Status: HY000 The connection to the external data source could not be established. No SDBC driver was found for the given URL. --- "Information": A connection for the following URL was requested: sdbc:address:evolution:local Now, going back to Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org Base > Databases and selecting "Connections" shows a whole list of "sdbc" database drivers as known to OOo, including "com.sun.star.comp.sdbc.evoab.OEvoabDriver" And, some more info: If I open the evolocal.odb in Base and select Edit > Database > Connection Type... I get a dialogue that tells me "Database Type: Evolution Local" from a drop-down menu list of all database types and "This kind of data source is not supported on this platform. You are allowed to change the settings, but you probably will not be able to connect to the database" From a similar drop-down menu list of database types accessed when selecting a new Base file and the "Connect to an existing database" radio button the "Evolution Local" database type isn't shown... SO! Any ideas what's going on?! Any way to access a "data source URL" directly - to try to input sdbc:address:evolution:local directly? Anything that might need installing to access those mysterious missing data types? And, do you use Evolution on a Mac?!
