Hi, a while ago I (about 5 month ago) installed the odbc connection to openoffice with unixodbc libmyodbc and libiodbc. I created and worked on 2 mysql databases and everything work smooth.
I now wanted to come back to these data bases but cannot create forms to work on them or documents that use their entries because openoffice cannot find the field-names. It does connect to the data base and can read the table. I can even see the contents of the data base via View->Data sources. Also old documents that have the right field names can be opened and printed via mail merge. What doesn't work: Generating forms via autopilot: my mysql database, I can choose one of the tables but then I cannot choose any fieldname. So "next" doesn't get enabled. (It does work whith the included flat file bibliography) Including field names of the database via the field include dialog. Same problem can those the database, a tree with all tables in the data base is openened but the the fields within the table are not visible (If I klick on the "+" the "+" disappears and the tree view doesn't show the field names to choose from). Generating a Design View Query: (same as above oo doesn' know the field names) There's no error message anywhere (not even in the mysql log-files). (I don't have the computer here right now, but all necessary packages are in their newest sarge version. Upgraded this week) Any ideas would be welcome, Regards Roland -- -------------------------------------------- Roland Marcus Rutschmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------
