--- Comment #4 from [email protected] 2012-09-02 08:10:16 UTC --- @Jochen, before you could import a dBase table into Base you have to create a new database in Base. The wizard asks, when creating a new connection to a dBase-Database, for the folder, where to look for the dBase-files. Formerly all dBase-files were shown as tables in this new Base-Database. Then create a new standalone Base-file: Database → Create a new database → Open the database for editing .. Now you have two databases: The database, which connects to the dBase-files and shows all the tables inside a folder ending with *.dbf The new database for importing the tables form the dBase-Database. With a right-click of the mousebutton over a dBase-Tabele from your Base-file, which connects to the dBase-files, you could copy this table. After this action go to the new database, whre the file should be imported. Now you have to paste the file. The import-wizard appears as shown in the description https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=65021 . When you will import the table without changing the filed-types a popup appears: "A error occured". This happens, because there are values in the table, which could not be shown with the filed-types the wizard will create. And the field-types, the wizard will create, are not the same which were shown, when opening the *.dbf-file with LO-Calc. When you change the filed-types and length, the wizard creates, to the field-types and length, which are shown in Calc, the import works. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
