Hi :) If the connector is working on other branches of LibreOffice but just not on the 3.5.x branch then perhaps posting a bug-report against Base might help? http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport

Tom, if your ar interested in LO Connector's to DataBases, please have a look a my question on de QA mailinglist <http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/2011-December/000734.html>. The Native MySQL connector is broken for 3.5, we need someone to rebuild the extension (windows).
