Hi,
I tried to connect to my thunderbird address book.
When I try to use : File -> Wizards -> Address Data source and I tag the button Thunderbird I get: "The connection to the external database could not be established. NO SDBC driver found for the given URL."
And when I click on the button more I get under information:
"A connection for the following URL was requested "sdbc:address:evolution:local"." This is complete lunacy as I didn't ask for evolution and I don't know where it would get the URL from. OK, I don't give up. I do: File -> New -> database and click on the button 'connect to an existing database". When I expand that button I can choose: "Thunderbird Address Book". Well, that looks promising. Alas, when I click on the button it brings me to a directory where I store documents and want to open an ODF Database. Well, that's completely wrong as Thunderbird adressbooks has as extension .mab.
Well now I'm baffled.
My settings:
OS Xubuntu 10.04; LO 3.4.5 directly installed from the LO website as Ubuntu 10.04 still has 3.3.2. Hopefully somebody has succeeded in accessing the Thunderbird address book or is this solved in 3.5?
Thanks in advance,
Joep
