As far as I remenber, you can drag a sheet from your spreadsheet into
the table view of Base, and the import will run automagically, with a
wizzard to assist you in defining the column data type.

Hi All
I am trying to create/populate a Base from a spread sheet. I have
followed the vague directions in the help file with no luck.
1 I created a new base with no tables defined and copied the
material ( with the first row as headers). Then I pasted it into the
Tables area, Paste Special spread sheet. I got the message 'No
Table format could be found.'.
2 I created the table and put in an ID field as the Key. Did a Paste
Special. I got the message 'No Table format could be found.'.
3 I added the element of the spread sheet that I wanted and did a
Paste Special. I got the message 'No Table format could be found.'.
From reading this list, I think VLOOKUP may help me do what i want?
The only information I have found is for EXECL VLOOKUP, is there any
for the OO (Basic?) form? Is it just a Calc function or can I use it
in Base?
For the record I am using XP and office 3.0.0.
Thanks for your Help
Cliff

Hi All
I got it to work. The data is a comma separated list from another data
base and came up as a Excel data sheet. I opened it as a Calc and then
things work. Well not quite what I wanted but with a little playing
around I think I can get it.
Thanks for your help
Cliff
