I had to completely remove all of 2.4 and then reinstall it.it finally worked and then choked on a database I wrote in 2.3.1. As of yet now work around so I still ended up having to downgrade. Here is the launchpad link for an explanation of everything I did: <A HREF="https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/30811">https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/30811</A> basically restored my gutsy sources.list file and manually forced install all the packages that make up 2.3.1.

I later discovered that it had something to do with my .openoffice.org2 profile in my ~/ directory. When I used the fresh profile created with the install it opened the database. However when I opened it with the old profile I had from 2.3 (I have a lot of settings I'd rather not have to recreate) it gave me problems and claimed Java was either broken, or not installed. At any rate thanks for your help noOp </BODY> </HTML>
