Hi I am curious to know if you got any useful reply to your mail back on 29/7/19 regarding Base.
I have found that it always an item that not many are familiar with and tend o leave Base alone and consencreate 0n the the equivilent to Excel. I am trying to convert an industrial program in excel to Base. I wnote to colleges locally and needless to say none offered even the Ms base. Not even our local Uni so am slowing making my way through using the Internet.

I have created a simple data base with three tables. When trying to create relationships and forms it's become obvious that some of my field definitions need to be changed. Problem 1: how can I display all of the variables I used to specify each field? Problem 2: I created a table and made a mess of it. How can I delete that table? DROP TABLE ... hasn't worked. Problem 3: The ID in my main table is a numeric sequential number. Can I define the field so that the number is automatically assigned using a field type? Background: I'm working in OpenOffice 4.1.6 on a MacBook Pro running MacOS 0.13.6. My first reference is to LibreOffice 4.0 Base Handbook, OO helps, OpenOffice Forum, then finally Google. I assume that LibreOffice BASE and OO BASE are sufficiently similar that LO documentation should be relevant to OO BASE. thanks, Mike Shearer Australia
