Open Folks... I have scoured your support website and written to one of the tech people who is available. The site doesn't come close to answering my questions and I have gotten no response from the tech.
Here's the issue: Based on your database templates, there appears to be no one who has built a CRM database that I can use as a starting point. I have built one, but it has run into a structural problem that seems to be purposely built into the program that makes no sense to me. I have successfully pulled together the initial data I need in an Excel file, which I saved as a CSV file and have uploaded to an OpenOffice database table. I then built a form to overlay the table that is supposed to give me two important functions; one is to put all relevant data on one screen to support a call center function and the second is for the form to be an easy way to enter added data as is comes in when an operator is talking to a customer. I do all this only to find that the form is 'read-only'. That there is no way around it. That's the part that seems purposeful and, I must say, nonsensical. Why would one build a form into which nothing can be added? I have gone round and round on this. Am I missing something? By the way, one cannot paste a properly prepared Excel file into the table. Why? And once I got data into the table, it was read-only. These seem to be un necessary traps that make your product unusable. Can you help with work arounds? Thank you. George George B.
