Hi all,
I've just grabbed the preview of OO.o2 tonight, and I'm very impressed with what I've seen.
Nice improvements all round so far. The "Base" app is the one. Real potential.
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).
Have also tried it and failed to get the lookups working - a fairly key issue for teaching kids how to setup relational databases that are well structured & easy to use. Overal 00.o2 seems very very good. Francis Stanbridge Community College Bishop's Castle Shropshire SY9 5AY tel: 01588 638257 fax: 01588 630034
