I think I'm being misunderstood here. I've never mentioned trying to link Base and Word - that's not something I want to do. All I originally asked about was an incorrect display of a query in a form. This has been ignored in the general discussion on the suitability or Base as a general-purpose user-oriented database front-end and in its future development. I've said my two pen'orth on that subject, as I'm certainly not competent to discuss the politics involved. So will shut up here. ----- Peter -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Problems-importing-an-OO-database-into-LO-tp3890826p3922702.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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
