I wish to create a database but the message /No Java installation could
be found... /is as far as I get./
/I'm running OSX on a MacBook Pro, OpenOffice 4.1.6, Safari 12.1.2 and
have downloaded and install[ed??] Java 8 update 221 from java.com. I
can't find any ...java... files in Library, though when I installed java
I got the install OK message.
I've spent several hours working thru the OpenOffice Community Forum
threads that might be pertinent, and exhausted Google, but am now more
confused than when I started. Is the fundamental problem that Apple
doesn't like java and because I'm up to date with OS X and Safari, I
won't be able to use Base?
Please don't get the impression from the above that I'm a well-informed
IT geek; I'm not, but having read so many pleas for help I understand
the necessity to quote releases! I've celebrated more than 25
anniversaries of my 50th birthday and find this digitised world
overwhelming... So advice in naive layman's terms will be much appreciated.
