Hi, same problem for me...Fedora 21 and LO4.4.1 However, LO4.2.0.4 on XP manages to open the file with no problems. I don't know whether 4.2 will perform the same feat on Linux. If I save with 4.2.0.4 on XP I can open with 4.4.1 on Fedora. With the extension unchanged. A bit of a convolute

Hi everbody, although I am not an data IT person, I've been a long time user of openoffice/libreoffice. I'll allways wanted to use LO as an official front end for an database; first of all because I do not know how to program html (even with all those facilities we have today) and also I don't

[libreoffice-users] first step forward

Hello, Just few days've gone, I had opportunity to discover your LibreOffice 4.4.1.2. I've got really impressed. Unfortunatly, there is not enough time, till now, to answer the question: Is the LO abbly, for example, to proceed efficiently a specific arrey of numbers (a kind of compilation)?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Where is Base?

Andreas , i must strongly confirm your vision. We must see Base as a connector and a front end for any possible database server We have 100 users, using LO as a front end to a MySQL server without any problems to use the MySQL data in Writer and Calc. The front end itself is writen with LO

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Where is Base?

Hi Peter Noted on your comments and others I can confirm that using the embedded DB in Base is a disaster - I battled with it for a couple of years until I found out about using an external engine - I use MySQL and have had _NO_ problems, (except my own finger problems!!) since then. Re

Hi :) Apparently another great database program to use as a back-end is Postgresql. Some of the Postgresql people worked with the LibreOffice people to make a really good connector and then got that connector into LibreOffice main trunk. So, Postgresql has an advantage over MySql in not needing a

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Where is Base?

I have read with interest the emails on Base. I have always regarded the data base component of Open Office, Libre office as the equivalent to the datbase component of MS Access. I have 5 data bases, originally run under windows and MS Access which I have converted to run under Libre Base.
