Hi all, I'm tearing my hair out by the roots on this one.
First, I had a bit of a problem getting the the ODBC connection to my MySQL database set up. That was my own fault though 'cause a couple of files that I though were supposed to go in /etc (that's where they went in Fedora Core) were actually supposed to go in /etc/unixODBC/. So, I got the connection set up okay. The issue that I'm having is that once I got the ODBC connection working, I can view the data source in Open Office, but cannot edit the table. I took a look on Gentoo Forums and I found one similar issue except that it turned out that the person did not have a primary key set. I have a primary key set in the MySQL database, but I still can't edit the table in Open Office. I have no idea what to try next. I'm using the ebuild openoffice-bin-1.1.5. However, I tried the openoffice-ximian ebuild and had no better luck with that. I don't think its a permission problem 'cause I checked this and I am a member of the mysql group. Any ideas?
