my observation is most people find learning any true database daunting

Hi :)
Sorry no-obne has replied to you so far! It sounds like a bug. So, it would
be great is you could post a bug-report about it. Hopefully this link will help

They probably wont be able to fix it quickly and it may well take several
months
Hi Tom,
ok, I am going to report a bug.
In fact I can try fix this by myself, I am developer. But I have no idea how
to start and I don't know if it's appropriate to post a question like this
in
developer list :-)
Report a bug is a good start point, thank for your answer.

Hi :)
Even if you are a dev it's still good to have a report to work from (i guess,
tbh i don't really know but i likel being able to tick things off when i've
completed something).
If you have no experience writing for LO and would like to start then it might
be best to start with a couple

Never heard of MeeGo.
Any reason you could not use a more main stream Linux OS that might
not have the issue?
I do not have a Netbook/tablet combo, so I do not know which OS would be
best. My only tablet is an Android. I find that a tablet is no good

MeeGo was a very standard GnuLinux distro. It's discontinued at the moment

Please read the attached file in both Excel and Libre Office. The (what
I assume are) hard coded integers in the cells are coming out with
grossly inflated values, almost 10 time as big as they are in Excel.

Base will only run SELECT statements that way. If you want to use other
than SELECT the only way IIRC is to use Tools-SQL which opens Execute SQL
statement but can only handle typed stuff, not stored queries. It is
useful for one-off tasks such as merging two tables into one or doing a
