Created attachment 145556 [details] error_message_icon.png Hi, 1. I have opened LibreOffice Base and Database Wizard opens. 2. Select database: check "Connect to an existing databse" and select "JDBC". 3. Click on Next button. 4. In "JDBC driver class" type in dummy and click on Test Class button. 5. Message is displayed: "The JDBC driver could not be loaded." It is obvious this is a fatal problem, but icon is "blue i". Icon should be "red x". "Blue i" icon should be reserved for success, not failure. See attached image. I hate to read messages, the icon should be enough to recognize success or failure. P.S. Also error is pretty cryptic. I have spend quite some time to figure it out what is wrong. 1. Java Runtime Environment must be installed. 2. JDBC driver must be present. 3. In LibreOffice Tools | Options | LibreOffice | Advanced | Class Path button | driver path has to be set. 4. Now repeating the steps above and everything is fine. May I additionally suggest to provide more informed message or add some Help button to link to some good documentation.
This works for me on MacOS with Version: 6.1.2.1 Build ID: 65905a128db06ba48db947242809d14d3f9a93fe Threads CPU : 4; OS : Mac OS X 10.13.6; UI Render : par défaut; Locale : fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); Calc: group threaded so Windows specific ?
