Peter Jones <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEEDINFO |REOPENED --- Comment #8 from Peter Jones <[email protected]> 2012-07-27 19:50:24 PDT --- Thanks for the update. This does work, but it is a workaround rather that a solution. If you search on Google for OpenOffice / LibreOffice Base Hyperlink Fields you will see lots of people have wanted this for many years as an additional field type. I enclose a request which goes back as far as 2008: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=3792 People want to move their databases and get rid of Microsoft software on their machines, but modern day databases need an easy way of handling hyperlinks as field types. For example, I have a database for my online banking in access, and for each institution I have: ID Bank Name Bank Address Telephone Website Address It just makes life easier. Please see below for the Access field types. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/field-data-types-available-in-access-mdb-HP005238518.aspx Sorry if this sounds like a rant (It is not supposed to), I just spend much of my time trying to convert people to Open Source, and regardless of if we like it or not, we have to compete with Microsoft Office. It seems that Base is always the last product to get the updates. Best wishes and I really do appreciate the work the Libre Office team are doing.
