Calc is Calc & Base is Base. By using Calc instead of Base, I mean: you have another way to handle data that include more than 65536 records.
Keep a PC running Excel 2003/2007. Do not *update* existing xls 2003, 2007, keep them as read-only. Use odt or base whenever you create new spreadsheets. > Not > all Calc-Users know Base, but vice versa, all Base-Users know well Calc. > Furthermore, many enterprises depend on Excel for their everyday works with > lot of customer-info more over 65536 rows. LibO and Excel - whichever versions - are not 100% compatible. The issue is on the decision maker side that expect too much. > And with Excel or Calc, the > spreadsheets can be shared to not-professional-users. Please FIXME if I am wrong: You are right, as of now, LibO 3.3 doesn't support multi user sharing over network (share). A little training is unavoidable, albeit LibO Base/MS Access or Excel/Calc are not hard to learn. Use Base if you want to share the data over network. > Migration from Ms Office 2k7 to LibO is a quite a complexible plan which > shouldn't be inversed. If failed & inversed to Ms Office.

Lower your requirement if you are a decision maker, or persuade the decision makers doing so. Migration is a pain that last once, after that, you are free from the Matrix. > I can surely say if we're all using Ms Office 2k3, LibO is a must choice for > alternative. To make life simple, LibO won't allow exporting files in MS Office 2010 formats?
