Base cannot find java on my new laptop

users
#1

I keep a database of magazine articles, with the file saved on my server
which is accessed by a drive mapping (Y:). I installed java runtime and
checked the version. However when I try to run Base I see the page that
lists tables, forms, reports etc., but can't open any of those links.
Every time it tells me that it is unable to connect, since it can't find
java. (See attachment)

Please can someone point me towards finding what is causing this? Thanks.

I keep a database of magazine articles, with the file saved on my
server which is accessed by a drive mapping (Y:).

It may be the source of error that the database isn't stored locally.

I know things can change, but I used a local Libre Office installation
with this database accessed from the mapped drive, (Y:), exactly as I
have set it up. Since the new laptop was necessitated by a hard drive
trashing, I can't look back to try to find any other possible culprits.

I installed java runtime and checked the version. However when I try
to run Base I see the page that lists tables, forms, reports etc.

Actually they are listed on different pages.

, but can't open any of those links.

Links? What links?

Sure - my bad description. Along with the attachment reporting lack of
Java, I attached an overview of what I can currently see. It looks fine
- just as I'd expect, but when I try to open the Display view, most used
as it contains description and images, I get the no-java report.

The mailing list removes any attachment. Can you send the attachment
to me directly?

My bad - I should have remembered that.

Please can someone point me towards finding what is causing this?
Thanks.

Also, I would be help you much more efficiently if you provide other
technical details such as your operating system, architecture,
LibreOffice version, which java you use? (oracle or openjava) Java
version etc.

OK - Windows 10 v.1909 64-bit. Java is Oracle 8, v.251 - I think on the
old laptop I had openjava. It is installed at C:\Program Files
(x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_251\. Is this in fact a 32-bit version? I know LO
says I must have a 64-bit version.

Anything else that would help?

Thanks

Oh yes. Now I get your problem. You have installed 32 bit Java. You
should install a 64 bit java.

Ah, I suspected it might be so. I assume I should remove the version
I've got and start again? I'll make sure it's removed, then look for
the correct version in the morning.

Thanks for all the help, folks.

That was indeed the problem. I can now access and update my database.
Thanks again to both of you.
