Robert,
Sorry not to have been back sooner - I got distracted by some more important
work than managing my wine.
I've worked out now how your filter_without_macros works now, and am in the
process of adding the procedures into my database.
I've also found your Base handbook on the LO
Howdy Peter,
I'm only a user of the software. Anyone can request a change and it is
pretty easy to do.
Likely getting one of the developers to want to code it will be a bit more
of a trick, but there is a process and if no one ever enters a request it
certainly won't happen.
Just in case:

Hi Drew,
I'm very happy to hear that Base is being worked on. It's always struck me as
the Cinderella app in the suite.
Would you like me to issue a RFE or will you do it yourself?
IMHO, even more important than this would be Update and Delete queries. It's
been decades since I used MS

howdy,
Ah, considering that the project is actively working on the Base module at
the moment this might be a great time to open a Request For Enhancement.
In this case a request to add a ReloadWith (for example) function on the
data set (form) which would reload the data using the current
Hi Robert,
I've had a look at some of your forms now, especially filter_without_macros and
I'm a bit puzzled. I see that the table in the Display part of the form is
populated by the "filterquery" query, which references "filter". The table
"filter" has one entry - the selection(s) I made in
HI Tom,
Thanks for this, but my basic question was whether there's an easier way than
using macros :) I'm not frightened by macro programming (I wrote my first ever
program in about 1961, and was in the profession for far too many years).
Except for the difficulty in working out which method
Hi :)
Chapter 13 of the "Getting Started with LibreOffice" Guide may help with
understanding macros. There is an outstandingly good entire book about
LibreOffice/OpenOffice macros by Andrew Pitonyak but that probably goes
into far more detail than you need right now.

Tom :)

Hi Robert,
Thanks very much for the database example. A lot to look at there - I'll have
to take some time to work out exactly how your forms and macros work.
Best regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,
have a look here:

You don't need anything elese but a form and a subform. The example
includes different forms, some of them working without any macro.

Robert,
That sounds great - I'm sure I should have thought of this all by myself.
But there's an added complication which I didn't mention before. When the user
types in a criterion, this needs to populate a table on the form. He/she then
selects a row which fills in some fields in the form.
