MySQL and Open Office with Connector J

[scottieb]

Hello All,

Has anyone managed to get Open Office 'Base' to connect to a MySQL back end on a windows system?

I'm trying to set up a database of electronic componoents using MySQL but i want a decent graphical front end. I've tried to set up DaDaBik but had no sucess with that either. I'm a bit new to databases.

Can anybody either tell me how to connect to MySQL with open office, or recommend a good, easy to set up front end that I can set up to enter information and do searches on my database?

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Scott
