Why can't Base load/find my JDBC driver?


OpenOffice must know the path to the JDBC driver for a given Java database engine. This path is known as a "Class Path" in Apache OpenOffice.

To add a JDBC driver (.jar file) to the Class Path:

  • Open the Tools → Options dialog
  • Open the embedded Java dialog
  • Press the  Class Path  button
  • Press the  Browse  button to locate the .jar file associated with the Java database engine
  • Re-start Apache OpenOffice and close Quickstarter (tray-app) as applicable… or simply restart your computer
