From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040211 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: When trying to create a new data source as either JDBC or Adressbook/LDAP, they both don't exist in the database type field and can therefore not be choosen and used. While those database types are not important for most home users, they are very important in the corporate world (toghether with the PDF export feature) and are a big advantage over other Office products. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-1.1.1-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start OO.org 2. press F4, now choose administrate datasources 3. Try to select JDBC or Adressbook/LDAP from the database type menu Actual Results: Both database types are not available. Expected Results: Both JDBC and Adressbook/LDAP should be available as valid database types. Additional info:
We also encountered this bug. It seems to be related to compiling openoffice with mozilla-support. The "official" compilation ( 1.1.3 ) from openoffice.org does not have this bug.
FC2 and FC3 now have openoffice.org-1.1.2-10. In that the tools->data sources... dialog allows me to select an Addressbook/LDAP and JDBC database type. Closing, reopen if I misunderstood and the problem continues with 1.1.2-10
