Unfortunately OOo have closed the bug (http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=76532) as 'not our problem'... <quote> ------- Additional comments from of Fri Apr 20 07:29:23 +0000 2007 ------- This is not an OOo problem but a Java problem. You should refer to the publisher of Java if the workaround doesn't work. </quote> Seems odd to me given that they distribute the code with the JRE download *and* the buggy code comes from Sun directly (OOo is a Sun project), *and* they state that JRE is required on the download page: http://download.openoffice.org/2.2.0/index.html?focus=download <quote> The Java Runtime Engine (JRE) is required for the Base (database) component of OpenOffice.org as well as several other features. By default the OpenOffice.org installer will install this additional piece of software as well. For more information: Java & OpenOffice.org. </quote> If I get a chance later on today I'll dig around to see what was distributed with Sun StarOffice8 - I have that installed on another remote system. Note: Added "Java" to the subject line for easy ref/search later on. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
