Thanks LibreOffice Base can do quite a lot, but it requires a fairly steep initial investment once you realise that the wizards are a bit limited, and thus you become reliant on macro programming for the unmet features that would be found in other front end solutions like FMPro or Approach or Access, and dare I say it, the fairly numerous bugs that are now in the source code (and aren't yet being fixed). Having used Approach in the past, I would have to agree with Roland if all you want is to have a db front end that you can use on Linux (via Wine) and Windows. If you want it to provide a front end for Mac as well, then you will be stuck with either LibreOffice Base and a fairly sustantial choice of server backends, or using some other interface design tool for your db such as Ruby, XML forms, PHP, etc. Alex -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
