I am using OOo 2.02 on Fedora Core 5, and that does *not* work. I open the ODT, edit the properties of a data field on the form (the primary key), go to the Data tab and prefix the column name with the registered DB name (data field "id" becomes "MyAddressbook.id" or "MyAddressbook.contact.id" or "MyAddressbook.public.contact.id"), save changes and the form behavior does not change. No database navigation controls appear in the window, no data appears in the form, and when I open the Edit -> Exchange Database dialog, no database is displayed in the left side of the dialog (Databases in Use). When I look at the properties of the form control that I changed, the changes are there. But if I use the drop-down control to see what other data fields are available to associate with this control, there are none listed. In other words, the form is not connected to a database. BTW, the database is registered with OOo as an ODBC connection to a PostgreSQL database running on localhost. Have you actually done this to see if it works or are you just telling me what you think should happen? If you've done this, what version of OOo and what kind of database connection were you using? - -- Tony -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Anthony E.
