[libreoffice-users] Cannot enter data in Base

2012-09-16 Thread Kevin O'Brien
I have LO 3.5.4.2 installed on a Kubuntu 12.04 box  with Sun Java JRE 
installed. I created a simple database to keep addresses, set up the 
fields I want, but now I cannot enter any data at all. Whether as a 
table of a form, it is all on large blank window with no lines, no 
cells, nothing I cna put data into. I suspect it is something really 
simple I ma missing, but I don't know what.


Can anyone help me?


Thanks,

Thanks,

 Did you select one of the fields in the table to be the primary 
key? Not having a primary key will cause the problem you have.
