Hi, 
 
when trying to use bibus (http://bibus-biblio.sf.net) with OOo native 
interface (i.e., setting up bibus database as an external bibliographic source 
via ODBC) I cannot change OOo to read data from particular table in the 
database, but OOo always picks the alphabetically first table from the 
database (which is not the correct one in the bibus case), even though all 
databases (including the one OOo picked up) where checked off in Tools/Filter 
Tables of OOBase, and even though I tried to use the roll down button in the 
Bibliographic databases manager. Unfortunately, that makes bibliographic 
support in OOo unusable for me and thus (I am a PhD student writing my thesis) 
it makes OOo as such unusable, so I have to stick with LyX for time being. 
 
BTW, it doesn't matter whether the ODBC connection is set up from SQLite 
(which has somehow unreliable ODBC driver, true) or from MySQL (which should 
be OK). See http://www.ceplovi.cz/matej/tmp/ooo-biblio/bibquery.png for 
illustration of the incorrect behavior of OOo, and 
http://www.ceplovi.cz/matej/tmp/ooo-biblio/oobase.png to show that OOBase can 
read the database correctly. 
 
Any workaround? 
 
Matej
