Brian,
thanks for the information. I have bought a disc with the 2.4 version of
the programme and this either comes with the programme installed or has
picked up the Java I downloaded previously. Having done so I am not very
impressed with the Base programme. I used to use an old version of
Dataease. The report wizard seems very limited in producing the type of
report I produced previously. I need to produce a report with fields of
varying length and preferably suppressing spaces in certain fields so each
record appears on one line. The basic records consist of a number up to 5
digits. Then a dot, no dot or an "A" or "B" and then a string of text
describing the title and then another string of text describing the picture
that is titled in the text.
The form wizard is not much better. I am used to creating fields of a
limited number of characters and other fields where I can choose from a list
of say five letters.
Has anyone produced any sophisticated reports using Base or could recommend
a programme that I could obtain which would do this.

have downloaded.
I haven't got much else to offer: I just mentioned that one point in case
that was your problem.
You haven't actually said that you installed the Java software you
downloaded - just that you downloaded it. Have you installed it? If not,
do so, and it should appear in the list of installed JREs.
By default, the OpenOffice download comes bundled with a version of JRE.
Did you download the version without it? Unless you did, you shouldn't
need another JRE anyway. Could you download the version with JRE and
install that?
