     No, I have been using 3.6.4.3 for Base working with tables, 
queries, forms, and reports without any problems. This is true for both 
32 and 64 bit versions.
     The following I have done on a 32 bit laptop. (I also have a tower 
that is 64 bit. All LO software on it comes from the LO website.)  I use 
LO 3.6.4.3 from the LO site and have no problems with Base. LO 3.7 has 
been changed to LO 4.0.0, and this is almost but not quite ready to be 
used for everyday use. If I were you, I would download the version I 
use: 3.6.4.3.
 Until today, I had been using 3.5.4 from Ubuntu 12.04 to connect to 
MySQL. I used this to access the data from tables and run queries. I did 
not do any work with reports. But after reading your emails about 
problems with reports, I tried to create a report from a query. The 
wizard would not even open. So, I have removed it.
     Recently, I have been able to use a different driver to connect to 
MySQL, so I have not learned anything.
     If you are going to uninstall your 3.5.4 version, use synaptic to 
do so. Search for "libreoffice" and remove anything that is listed in 
the Installed Version column and begins with 1:3.5.4-0Ubuntu.
     If you want some suggestions as to how to install LO 3.6.4.3 from 
the LO site, let me know.
