Hi,
This thread proves that a severe lack of documentation on one side meets
innocence on the other side of the screen. No, a database is not
"another file format for tables". It differs completely from a
spreadsheet. You can not simply paste all kind of data from spreadsheet
to database in one or two steps.
Linking (connecting) spreadsheet tables into a Base container, so *it
looks as if the spreadsheet were a database* does not actually turn a
spreadsheet document into a database.
On the other hand, pasting (importing) tabular data from arbitrary
sources into a "real database" requires a lot of processing to make the
data actually fit into the database. IMHO, the import wizard is one of
the better tools in Base since it is quite universal and works pretty
well if you understand what you are trying to do with it.
