Re: [libreoffice-users] OO Base will not run in LO Base

Hi,

I developed my database about 8 years. I moved the data over from 
Paradox. I was running Windows at the time. I moved to Ubuntu 2 1/2 
years ago, and ran OO until this past spring. When the first release of 
LibreOffice came out this past spring, I uninstalled completely open 
office and did a clean install of LibreOffice. I've never had any issues 
using my database. I would recommend doing a complete uninstall of both 
Open Office and LibreOffice, and then doing a fresh install of 
LibreOffice directly from the LibreOffice site.

Here are the instructions for the 32 bit version for Ubuntu. They should 
work fine with Mint.
Download LibreOffice to your desktop. Right click on the download and 
extract it to the desktop. Then run the following in the terminal:
sudo apt-get remove libreoffice*.*
sudo apt-get remove openoffice*.*
sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/LibO_3.4.3rc2_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/*.deb
sudo dpkg -i 
~/Desktop/LibO_3.4.3rc2_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/desktop-integration/libreoffice3.4-debian-menus_3.4-302_all.deb

If you are running 64 bit, simply change the version information.

If the above doesn't work, maybe you could try creating a new form in 
LibreOffice and see if that works.
