They cannot figure out how to get the database I started  
"registered",

so OO can find it.
Is there a description somewhere, on how to accomplish this?




From within any OOo application...

1. Select "Tools > Options..." from the menu

2. Open the "OpenOffice.org Base" branch by clicking the small box  
to it's

left
3. select the "Databases" item
4. click the "New..." button
5. click the "Browse..." button

6. find the database that is to be registered and select it then  
click the

"Open" button
7. change the "Registered name" if desired
8. click the OK button, the database is now registered
9. click the OK button to close the options dialog


This information is repeated in the OpenOffice Getting Stared Guide  
at the
bottom of page 197. There's a lot of useful information in the guide  
for new
users. You might point it out as a resource to this couple who's  
taken up

your club newsletter.

The guide can be found here...
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/OOo2.x/user_guide2_draft.pdf


Thanks. I will be forwarding this to the couple.
