Hi Keith,

I have a similar problem however my Base just will not let me do 
anything until the JRE is installed.

I REALLY NEED Java to use Base as I am endeavouring to managed a 500 
strong membership list over 9 zones with an index common to all. I have 
tried to install and Java sits in my "System Preferences" but linking LO 
to it is another mission as it doesn't seem you can re-initiate a search 
by LO for a JRE?

Uninstalling it can't be done by dragging icon to Trash and only thing I 
have found is on the net to do it via cli.

I could use Calc and import data sets from a main sheet into a smaller 
table but it is really time intensive so really using Base is a no 
brainer. I also refuse to pay money for MS Access to run on my Apple Mac 
Sierra 10.12.1 with LO 5.2.3.3.

Wonder when LO is going to follow Minecraft's example for items such as 
Base?
