Why can't Base load/find my JDBC driver?
From Apache OpenOffice Wiki
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
