I see what you are saying, though, you may have missed my point. When creating a database connection, you have to type in the database name. If you have the privileges, why not allow the user to select the database in the same way as they select the tables? This may mean an extra screen in the Database connection wizard. > > Try : "Tools -> Customize" (sorry, I'm french, and > I don't remember the > english word ) > > > There is a bug with the help.

I'm waiting about 0-3 seconds, depending on the amount of stuff on the page, and what is going on in the background. > > The help window is put behind all other > > OOo windows.

QuickSilver seems to have it in the list, and I have also stuck the folder in the Finder sidebar. Before the install I did not have a /opt directory, but it is hidden in the finder. In terms of the bug reporter. I think it is pretty good, though the ability to log the bug reports untill your on-line would be useful. So far I have been no where near an internet connection, when I had a crash. I have also been in the need for getting on with further work, before I was able to be online. This in all meant that I did not submit the reports. This install of OOo is giving me pleasant surprises all the time! 8-) Thanks, Shaun McDonald, > > Regards, > eric bachard > > -- > eric bachard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > French OpenOffice.org Community contributor (build > of french releases > for Linux PPC and Mac OS X / X11) > See : <http://fr.openoffice.org> > ___________________________________________________________ ALL-NEW Yahoo!
