------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri May 23 09:58:49 +0000 2008 ------- In OpenOffice.org Base it is not clear if an existing "database" is a local one or a link to an external one. It is also not clear when a "database" is on read-only mode (usually links) or read/write. Suggestions: 1. When "connecting" to an existing database , when "saving", the message should clear say "saving the link", in order to stress that the data stays on the original source 2. In the Main "Table" view there should be a clear icon for read/only ou read/write, and another clear indication of whether the table is a link or a local database. it could an arrow, which is a usual way of make that distinction if file managers --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
