Hi Katt I am at work at present so just a quick response. If you set up a Base system with a spreadsheet as the data source you can use the existing information on creating a form etc. If you want to do it all from within Calc,
Set up your spreadsheet with entries for column names, and if appropriate some information in the first column (probably not necessary, but one complete line is not bad to have for testing). Highlight the range of labels and the dummy record, Data->Define Range. Then Data->Form should open a form with your field names and an entry area. Step through any data you have with Last Record/Next Record. Add new data by clicking New and entering fresh data. You can see it immediately in your spreadsheet. Maybe this helps? kind regards Martin On Wed, 04 May 2011 00:41:05 -0700 <[email protected]> wrote: > Mr. Pitonyak c/o authors at documentation dot openoffice dot org > > To whom it may concern; > > I have tried sending a message to Mr. Pitonyak at the address given in > the .pdf file, but it was not valid or there was some sort of server > issue so I would appreciate it if you could forward the email to him or > if you have a resolution to my problem any help would be appreciated. > > First, I would like to thank you for writing Chapter 13. > > I found it very informative and helped me to accoplish all but one of my > goals.
