Get you now ...

Hm, you kind of misuse the list box to do a calculation, I'd say.
Recognizing this, and handling properly, would require a lot of magic on
OOo side - you don't want each and every list box to reload its content
from the DB with each and every row change. And magic is prone to
breakage, so I try to avoid it.

Instead, I'd say that support for calculated fields is needed in forms.
Something for the feature pool, don't you think?

okay, noted as "allow embedding existing forms into a new form
(Insert/Form in form design)".

By the way, this is one more thing whose implementation difficulty would
tremendously decrease if we had dialog-based forms, instead of those
Writer-monst^Wgiants.

As long as nobody complains, and as long as it is used carefully, we
won't establish a no-attachments policy, I'd say.

Ciao
