Can't edit Base macro

2024-01-28 Thread DICK HOFFMAN
Running OO 4.1.15 on a Windows 11 system. When trying to edit a macro in 
Base, OO terminates and goes through a recovery process for the opened 
dbase. The dbase and macro remain functional after recovery but I cannot 
make the changes I want to make.

Adding data to Base tables

2023-06-22 Thread DICK HOFFMAN
Some time ago I built a Base database that uses two tables. It has 
worked very well all these years. Now I want to build another database 
in an entirely different project using three spreadsheets that I want to 
incorporate in the db. I can't figure out how to transfer data from the 
spreadsheets to the tables. Copy and paste doesn't work. I'm sure I 
somehow was able to move data from a spreadsheet to a table in the old 
db but have forgotten how I did it. I really don't want to have to 
retype all the data if possible. Any help will be appreciated.

Problem with a docx file

2013-11-20 Thread Dick Hoffman
When I try to open the attached file using AOO 4.0.1 on my Windows 
XP-SP3 system I get the following from AOO:


   Open Office Document Recovery
Due to an unexpected error, OpenOffice crashed. All the files you were 
working on will now be saved. The next time OpenOffice is launched, your 
files will be recovered automatically.

The following files will be recovered:
(blank - no files are listed)

When I click on OK AOO opens again but takes no action regarding the 
file in question. A .~lock file is left in my Temp directory. When I 
upload the .docx file to the free file conversion site, 
http://www.zamzar.com/, and have it convert the file to .doc, AOO has no 
problem opening the resulting doc file. The original file may have been 
created on a Mac system, for what that is worth.

AOO can't open .xlsx spreadsheet at Cornell site

2013-09-24 Thread Dick Hoffman

I downloaded a fairly large spreadsheet from this location
http://www.birds.cornell.edu/clementschecklist/download/
but when I try to open it with AOO the progress line shows about a 
quarter of it being loaded and then AOO stalls and I have to use the 
Task Manager to cancel soffice. This is using AOO 4.0 on a Windows XP 
Pro/SP3 system. Any suggestions as to what might be wrong will be 
appreciated.
