Re: [libreoffice-users] Incorrect font colour when printing in Base
Hi Robert, > Attachments aren't allowed here. Sorry. > If you wan't to print a letter with Base you could better use a report. I just want something quick and easy. When I tried making a report it was very slow and I ended up with a report made up from every letter I had ever written, which is not what I want. > What is the difference between the fields you could or couldn't print > with the choosen colour? I have discovered that the ones that work were all multi-line and the ones that didn't were single-line fields. By changing all fields to multi-line they print with my chosen colour. All except one, which is a date field with a drop-down box and cannot be changed to multi-line.

[libreoffice-users] Incorrect font colour when printing in Base
I have created three forms in Base; Clients, Letters and Letters_Print so that I can create and print out unique letters. I have changed the font colour of all fields in Letters_Print to Dark Blue 1 via Control > General > Font. All looks as I want except that when I go to print the letter only the address and text body fields are in dark blue. All others remain in black. What am I doing wrong? I include an example with the problem.

[libreoffice-users] Option Buttons not working in Base
I have three option buttons (Confirmed, Enquiry, Cancelled) all linked to a status field (Control > Data > Data field). When I click on the Confirmed button it works as expected but I can not unclick it and the other two buttons do not work at all. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I'm using Libreoffice 6.1.6.3 on a Mac.

[libreoffice-users] Getting a line break through a query
The base documentation states that you can get a line break using Char(13) e.g. SELECT "Firstname"||' '||"Surname"||Char(13)||"Road"||Char(13)||"Town" FROM "Table" However, when I run this I just get the concatenated query on one line with no line breaks. What am i doing wrong?

I have three currency fields - 'Fee1', 'Fee2' and 'Total'. How do I add fee1 and fee2 together and put the result automatically into the Total field?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Concatenating fields in related form
Thank you for taking the time to reply Robert. > If you will see this directly while input of values you have to set the > input of "ClientID" in the mainform and the query for the shown content > in the subform. "ClientID" will be the field connecting to the subform. > It could be set up as a listfield with the code > SELECT "FirstName"||' '||"Lastname", "ClientID" FROM "Table" > So it will show the "FullName" if the clientID is submitted from the > mainform. I can only get this to work (with a list box) if there is only one project for each client. If I have two separate project records with the same client id I get an error. > But: Do you really know all ClientIDs? I would prefer a listfield > instead, which directly shows the names. I have nearly 1000 clients. It would be tedious scrolling through those looking for a client, or am I missing something? I was hoping I could recreate my old Filemaker method of linking the records.

[libreoffice-users] Concatenating fields in related form
I have a Client form with ClientID, FirstName and LastName fields and a Project form with ClientID and FullName fields. In Filemaker I was able to type in a client id into the Project form and it would insert the first name and last name from the Client form into the FullName field of the Project form. How can I do this in Base? Hope that is clear.
