More than likely because the user OpenOffice.org is connecting to PostgreSQL as does not been granted permission to access data in the database/schema that SQL-Ledger is using.

If you use multiple users, then you have to look into the SQL keyword GRANT to see how to configure access to data. -- (concatenate 'string "cbbrowne" "@ntlug.org") http://cbbrowne.com/info/x.html Rules of the Evil Overlord #183.
