Wonderful! That sounds very do-able. Thank you so much. I didn't realize it could be so simple. Such a complex process I went through to manage the import via Calc in OO 2.2. Is the result going to be the same as what I did there, insofar as it being a standard Base table? > If you need to edit the data it is a little different. I will be needing to add new rows to the table. And on occasion I will need to change some data in the pre-existing rows. Is that going to be do-able? If you could just explain briefly what you mean by "a little different".
