Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: can't find the JRE with LibreOffice 6.2

Ken,

Have this problem sometimes as well (even in 5.1.6.2, have to use this 
version because of this version of the mail merge function)
it seems to be a file locking problem:
When having a spreadsheet open, then trying to open a merge document 
that accesses to an LO Base address query as data spirce I get the 
'can't find the JRE...' error.
workaround:
close all files, exit LO
open LO Base address query
try to edit the query (here would apear the JRE error message)
[save, if edited] close query
save query (important, to write the modifications to the files)
[close LO Base]
load merge document (LO Writer)
Tools / Options / LibreOffice / Advanced / Activate 'Use a Java runtime 
environment'
after a few seconds the JRE entry apears
OK
and everything works fine
