yordan 10 Report post Posted November 22, 2007 mysql should work with openoffice base. Have a look at their website here : http://www.openoffice.org/product/base.html They claim that : BASE supports many popular databases database natively (Adabas D, ADO, Microsoft Access, MySQL), or any database through industry-standard ODBC and JDBC drivers.So, I would like to say that the best thing to do is to test it by yourself.First go to your Xisto control panel and create your database, name it for instance "mytesting".Then, try to use the openoffice.base menus to create your forms. As database name, use the "mytesting" name of the database you created. openoffice will probably ask you the name of the database server, give yoursitename.astashost.comTell us if this worked.RegardsYordan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
