Uhoh, seems it was too late in the evening when I wrote this (and don't say 9 pm isn't late in the evening :). I would have sworn the copy table dialog is available as UNO service, but it actually isn't. Okay, this can be changed I think. And while we are at it, I could probably modify it so it can take, as a property value, the data source / table to copy from (this is the part I thought wasn't available, yet - which was true it seems). I'll try to have a look into this beginning of next week, and implement it in a current CWS. For interested parties, we could make snapshots of this CWS available as usual.
