OO java problem

[nigel barker <tech@hiroshima-is.ac.jp>]

Dear All,
I am trying to use the form wizard in OOobase, but pressing the Finish 
button on the wizard does nothing. Launching from a console shows that a 
java exception is occurring.
I really need the form wizard with my grade 8 class. Forms by hand is 
really hard for them.
This is from thin clients on a fully up-to-date ltspserver.

I tried to install the latest OOo 2.4 debs from the OOo website, but it 
won't install, saying that "openoffice-bundled" is already installed and 
conflicts.
I uninstalled OOo from the ltspserver, but it didn't help.

I don't want to make OOo/linux look crappy and broken with my class. I 
tried kexi, but it crashes about every 10 mins.

What would be the next thing to try?

thanks,

nigel
