Juliet,
Are you sure you have the correct 32-bit or 64-bit JRE (Java Runtime
Environment) installed to match the OpenOffice you have installed?
They cannot be mixed.
I am currently using 32-bit Oracle Java 1.8u131 which seems to work fine.

I assume you set up AOO to use the JRE with Tools -> Options ->
OpenOffice - Java and selecting the JRE you need to use.
You don't say if you are using the internal AOO database engine or an
external database server such as MySQL. I have no experience with the
AOO internal server, but there are additional steps needed to connect
AOO Base to an external server.
Have you "registered" the database?
Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice Base -> Databases
Use "New" to add (register) a database.
Then you should be able to bring up Base on that registered database.
HTH.

Open Office base will do nothing without JRE - it won't print, it
won't export and the wizards don't work. I am on a home XP computer
and I have tried installing loads of different Java run-times.
Although Open Office base recognises that it is there, it will not use
it! When I give it the right location to look, it says that the run
files are not there. I just want to print out a query or export it.
