OOo 3.2.1 can't find the latest Java on Macs. Update to OOo 3.3. There is a hack to OOo to get older versions to recognize Java but you would be better off getting u[dating to OOo 3.3.

I have attempted to use the database on OpenOffice.org <http://OpenOffice.org> 3.2.1. I am running OS 10.6.8. Every time I try to run a portion of the database I get an error message "OpenOffice.org <http://OpenOffice.org> requires a Java runtime environment (JRE) to perform this task. The selected JRE is defective. Please select another version of install a new JRE and select it under Tools - Options - OpenOffice.org <http://OpenOffice.org> - Java. I checked Java Preferences and it says the Java SE 6 is loaded but OpenOffice.org <http://OpenOffice.org> "Java options" does not list it. I have no idea where Java SE 6 is installed so I cannot "Add..." it. How do I get OpenOffice.org <http://OpenOffice.org> to recognize the installed Java?
