Hi all,
Cor, are you stalking me? This is the second list I've seen you on. :)
I've just grabbed the preview of OO.o2 tonight, and I'm very impressed with what I've seen.
It's not bad, is it? Granted, I rarely use it, but for someone converting from Windows, OOo does tend to boost Linux's applicability.
Forms: I haven't got it using a TableB as a lookup for the list values in a combobox on FormA, where FormA edits and adds to TableA (you know - that wizard you run on Access to get combobox values from somewhere else (a table) and bung an id rather than the list value into the main table).
A classic MS-Access ideal - and one that teaches so many how not to design forms and database backends. I don't want to get into that argument, but as a toy database, this'll do just fine. :P
The Base combobox wizard itself doesn't want to list *any* tables as sources to choose from. The wizard list is empty.
I think you'll find this is deliberate. -- Thomas Adam ===== "The Linux Weekend Mechanic" -- http://linuxgazette.net "TAG Editor" -- http://linuxgazette.net "<shrug> We'll just save up your sins, Thomas, and punish you for all of them at once when you get better.
