Okay... Most of you may already have heard of this (especially if you watch Slashdot), but it's worth posting for those that don't: http://www.linuxworld.com/2003/0207.barr.html Here, the author talks about getting OpenOffice.org, ODBC and MySQL working together (on Red Hat 8.0)... It looks like the first of two articles; the first explains what he did, the errors that resulted, and what he did to get around it. Next week, he's supposed to talk about using his new-found functionality, and whether it was worth the effort. FWIW, he said that he started using a how-to by John McCreesh, but there were enough differences between RH 7.3 and RH8.0 that it was almost useless. The article is certainly worth reading. It's getting late now (11pm EST), so I know what I'll be doing in the morning! ;) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- William Smith wsmith-at-chezsmith-dot-com Fall River, MA http://www.chezsmith.com Random BOFH excuse: NOTICE: alloc: /dev/null: filesystem full * TAG! v3.1 *
