------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Nov 26 04:59:09 +0000 2007 ------- Yep, that's a very easy way of doing it ... unfortunately it only works for small amounts of data due to the restriction on columns & rows in the spreadsheet. Any well used database soon goes over that boundary (especially the rows). Now if you could directly copy data between 2 OOo Base databases (irrespective of the backbone driver) this would accomplish the task quite easily. I'm just thinking that placing all the data on the clipboard & then pasting into a new table or appending, will use a lot of ram whereas a link shouldn't be that wasteful. The user doesn't need to know that a link is created (even a temporary link) - this could be done in the background as OOo should be able to notice that you're importing data from one open database to another open database - thus no user intervention except for the Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V key presses. If the "linking" idea can be done as described above, this will make even the linked tables (as per issue 42464) as seamless as a copy-n-paste operation. Maybe just say add an option in the Edit menu. E.g. Paste-Special --> Paste as Link. This is also much closer to what inexperienced users would expect, as most other programs offer this type of functionality, e.g. Paste a link to a Calc spreadsheet into a Writer document. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
