tables
- Create Table in Design View: not working
- Wizard: runs but the final window does not close (End key disabled), closes with button (X)
- The newly created table and the existing ones do not open (double-click or right-click> open). They do not even open in edit mode.
queries
- Create Query in Design View: Users can not add tables
- Wizard: runs but the final window does not close (End key disabled), closes with button (X)
- The query you just created and the existing ones do not open (double-click or right-click> open). They do not even open in edit mode.
forms
- Seem to run on both tables query
Closing Open Office
- If you create a new table or new query (with the wizard) OO does not close, a forced exit from o.s. OSX is required.

1. If you disable Java (Preferences - OpenOffice - Java), are you still unable to create tables in design mode? (much of the rest of Base won't work)
2. If you re-enable Java and try invoking some other function that requires Java, does it work? For example: launch Writer, press F1 for help, open the Search tab (name may be different) and search "Test". Is the search successful?

What about the tests from Villeroy at https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/v ... 02#p368449 ?
Villeroy wrote:Most likely, we are talking about the dBase driver
Villeroy's test
1. I do not understand "Right-click the Bibliography in the data source window"
2. 4.1.1 open existing tables - 4.1.2 do not open
Villeroy wrote:You could also create a new dBase database with Java enabled or not:
menu:File>New>Database...
[X] Connect to existing db
Type: dBase and point to some directory which may be blank or having some *.dbf files already.
Creating a brand new database with Java being disabled creates the same type of external dBase database instead of embedding a HSQL database into the Base document.
Villeroy wrote:Oh, one more quick test on the Mac please (2 minutes):
Open a new Writer doc, hit F4, select Bibliography>Tables>biblio in the left pane and if the table appears on the right pane drag some column lables of populated columns into the Writer document. The column labels will produce mail merge fields.
Then print, confirm that you are going to print a serial letter
and choose a single document for output.
Then open the output document. Does this serial letter have the expected content (one page per table row)?
