You appear to be running some version of the Windows operating system. First you should start OpenOffice and click Tools/Options In the Left pane of the Window that opens click Java In a few moments you should see a screen that looks like the picture at https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/UserGuide/Options/AOO#Java_on_Windows_and_other_systems. If what you see does not match the picture one of two (2) possibilities exist. Either the check box next to Use a java runtime environment(jre) is not checked or you have the wrong version of Java is installed for OpenOffice.
If the Use Java runtime environment box is checked and the white box below is empty than the problem is the wrong Java for OpenOffice is installed. To fix this click the following link:https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp. On the page that opens click the link for Windows offline and follow the installation instructions. This will install the 32 bit version of Java that is needed for OpenOffice. Once it is installed again start OpenOffice and click Too;s/Options and check the java options match the picture. If it does you are all set. If the Use Java runtime environment is not checked click the box to check it and wait a few moments for the program to see if it finds a jre and populates the white box as in the picture. If it does you are all set and OpenOffice should now be able to open the database. If neither of these scenarios solves the problem please write back to the list giving more details as to what Operating system you are using, what version of OpenOffice you are using and the exact steps you take to open the database.
