Thanks Robert. I've worked through a lot of LO documentation over the last year and I can't always remember what was where. Some more comments:
1. It seems I've failed to understand the Automobile database use case then misunderstood the Fuel table use (which I understood was like a personal vehicle log book). It's not clear to me what is being planned for. I understand the Automobile database is a personal database to track holiday expenses within a group. With over 16,000 words plus figures in https://books.libreoffice.org/en/GS72/GS7208-GettingStartedWithBase.html#toc6 it's hard to pick up on detail when you're familiar with most of it. Can you explain Figure 35 <https://books.libreoffice.org/en/GS72/GS7208-GettingStartedWithBase-img/GS7208-GettingStartedWithBase-img036.png> in a sentence? Specifically: 1. Why refuel a vehicle multiple times each day? 2. Why would the vehicle odometer be close to zero rather than something more typical of vehicles on the road? 3. Why are so many different people paying for fuel? 2. Using one definitive document is best to avoid inconsistencies. Is the GS Guide consistent with https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/d/d5/Automobile.odb ? 3. Re the 22 databases. Are you suggesting the base guide should work towards a single database to demonstrate Base functionality rather than many databases (say like northwind.mdb)? 4. Duplicating a database with the exception of macros so users aren't exposed to macros seems crazy. Rather than having two identical databases with the exception of macros, perhaps just merge a macro file into the database? -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
