Thank you for your investigations and sorry for the slow reply (had a problem with GMail).

I have tried putting the files in the openoffice\program folder and I can connect to the database and create a table. If I then try to query or enter data I get a "The result set is closed" message.

If I use the "Run SQL command directly" option and write a query such as SELECT * FROM TABLE1; then it returns a result set.

I have tried all the usual tricks for Jaybird/Firebird and OpenOffice ensuring there is a primary key, entering all table and field names in CAPS etc.

Any further ideas are more than welcome!!

Regards....Mike
