Hello to all, Quiz answers: ( my answers anyway, and I am always looking to learn by having people show me where I am wrong )
My shortest route to break a column out to a table, and have the form not break - 21 mouse clicks, and 6 keystrokes...that ain't bad in my book and I have done that type of process numerous times over the years converting spread sheet data into relational table structures. Twenty one mouse clicks is darned good, actually. How many combo boxes re-fetch the information for the lists when a new exercise record is added to the grid on the left? 0 Click Add New Day button and 6 combo box controls re-fetch list items. Why? Because we have one table, and I created a Master->Sub->Sub form relationship. All the comboboxes are at the third level. The default behavior for combo and list boxes seems to be is to reload the list items when ever the parent dataform, for the dataform that owns the list control is reloaded. Something to consider if you are going to have large result sets for the drop down controls or displaying results from long running queries. Can you change this? No, not that I can see, not when the combo and list boxes are used for table control columns. A new question for today - You need to distribute a Base application to a group of users. The application has a couple of screens that take a while to update. It also runs some reports that can take a while to generate. OpenOffice.org is a single process, monolithic application. Because of this a slow screen or report in the Base application hinders the users from using OOo as a whole. One way to address that would be if the Base application could run in a separate process. Is there any way to do that with OpenOffice.org 2x today, simply? So that no matter what the forms and reports in the Base application you developed are doing, the user is never hindered from working with OOo documents external to your application. I think the answer is yes. OOo allows multiple instances of the application to run on a users machine in a single session. All that is required is that separate user configuration information be used by each instance. So if your job involves building business applications in Base for your work group, you might want to consider developing a distribution process that includes creating application specific configurations. It is not that much to setup the needed files via a script. This allows you to then launch an instacne of OOo used exclusively by your application when the users executes your business application.
