as for your last comment: That's a shortcoming of the integration of Base in
Writer. Base itself is fully capable of treating a folder as collection of
tables, represented by single .dbf files. For this, just go to
Edit/Database/Properties when you have the .odb open, and change the location to
a folder instead of a single file. Just writer doesn't seem to offer folder
browsing in this place ...
For the original problem: That's a shortcoming of Writer, too. I changed the
summary accordingly, changed the issue type to ENHANCEMENT (since this is what
we really have here: a request for enhancement), added the "usability" keyword
(since I agree that's a usability issue), confirmed the issue as valid problem,
and assigned it to the responsible developer.
fs->os: Your's to target, I'd say.
