SOLUTION?

I'll add my two cents worth... it might clear up the whole issue.

First of all, let's all understand that OO.o documentation is very terse and often non-existant. This is important to understand before we go any further.

When you get to step 4, you must <b>not</b> click on "Forms". Why? Because you have not created a table yet.

You must go through the Tables step before you start up with Forms.

This is very obliquely explained in OO.o help page "Using Databases in OpenOffice.org Base" (<F1> key) and its links.

OOoB is a great application that is sadly documented. The application is not "intuitive", but once understood it can do quite a bit.
