See my earlier email to Barbara. I've been rading that one, but I still think it is way too much work to create a .odb document instead of a calc document for importing first.

Wouldn't it be pretty easy in terms of workload to only add a menu item "import table" or adding a document type ".dbf" to the open dialog in base? This way the *existing* table import wizard could be triggered. Okay, I don't know if it would be doable for server databases and if the user want's to import not only one but many tables it's a lot work to do. But it could be a quick working solution (without all the bells and whistles). I personally do not like the idea of connecting a JDBC-Driver to a running instance of OO.o, people tend to abuse things and this would entail many funny ideas what could be done with it and so would raise the burden of issues related. > > Perhaps after we addressed all the performance problems some users > > rightfully moaned about? :) > > > > Ah, the decision of where to assign limited resources...*grin*, well > that;s why they pay you the big bucks Frank. For me all this is "hobby style" action. Noone pays me anything. But I understand the (repeated) message from Frank.
