Subject: Re: [users] DATABASE SOFTWARE
Hello.
I am sending this message to ask if OpenOffice has database software
that is similar in function to MicroSoft Access ? If so, I want to
know where can I download it.
Please respond back to:

Short answer: No, not even version 2 has an Access-like database
<included in the program>.
Long answer: Open Office will interface with Access through ODBC. And
it will also pull data from MySQL, PostgresQL, Oracle, or anything else
that has an ODBC/JDBC driver. You can even use OpenOffice as an
Access-like front-end for these databases. Please see the documentation
at http://documentation.openoffice.org for further info. Since this is

thanks for the explanation of what the double line is and how I came
by it, but your suggestions to remove it don't seem to work. they just
shuffle it up one line, its almost as if it was write protected or
something, I change the setting to none, click ok, it's still there,
go back to the dialog it has gone back to 4.5pt. try changing the line
arrangement to "set no border" it disappears in preview window but not
in the doc. click ok, it still there go back to the dialog, it's still
set for 4.5pt bottom border. can't easily copy the text to a new doc,
as I lose the layout of all the pictures in my doc.........a little
annoying. just tried to remove it in 1.9 still no joy, I can create a
new paragraph border and remove/ restyle that, but the old one that I
don't want always remains.

With 1.1.4 there was no error. The macro

I am using WinXP with SP2. In OOo1.1.4, when I open the file I
say yes to enable the macros. When I click the button to run the
macro, it runs(?) and I get the message that the number of files has
been changed. However, when I go to the File drop down, it still

I suppose it doesn't change when you close OOo (incl. quickstarter)
and restart?
Does the following info help:
A - You need to edit one of the configuration files.
Before you do that, close all OOo windows, and also make sure that
the Quickstarter is closed, too.
B - Now, on your computer, search for the file
"...\user\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\Common.xcu."
If you find more than one file named "Common.xcu", make sure it's in
the path specified here.
C - In this file, look for the line
<node oor:name="History">
D - Now, directly after this line, add the following lines
<prop oor:name="PickListSize" oor:type="xs:int">
<value>10</value>
</prop>
E - Save
F - Once you've opened and closed the next file in OOo, the list of
recently opened files will have grown by one line. Its maximum number
of items will be the value you've specified, in my example that's 10.

Cor

Hi! This is the ezmlm program. I'm managing the
[email protected] mailing list.
To confirm that you would like
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
removed from the users mailing list, please send an empty reply
to this address:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Usually, this happens when you just hit the "reply" button.
If this does not work, simply copy the address and paste it into
the "To:" field of a new message.
I haven't checked whether your address is currently on the mailing list.
To see what address you used to subscribe, look at the messages you are
receiving from the mailing list. Each message has your address hidden
inside its return path; for example, [EMAIL PROTECTED] receives messages
with return path: <users-return-<number>[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Some mail programs are broken and cannot handle long addresses. If you
cannot reply to this request, instead send a message to
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and put the entire address listed above
into the "Subject:" line.
--- Administrative commands for the users list ---
I can handle administrative requests automatically. Please
do not send them to the list address! Instead, send
your message to the correct command address:
To subscribe to the list, send a message to:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To remove your address from the list, send a message to:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Send mail to the following for info and FAQ for this list:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Similar addresses exist for the digest list:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To get messages 123 through 145 (a maximum of 100 per request), mail:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To get an index with subject and author for messages 123-456 , mail:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
They are always returned as sets of 100, max 2000 per request,
so you'll actually get 100-499.
To receive all messages with the same subject as message 12345,
send an empty message to:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
The messages do not really need to be empty, but I will ignore
their content. Only the ADDRESS you send to is important.
You can start a subscription for an alternate address,
for example "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", just add a hyphen and your
address (with '=' instead of '@') after the command word:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To stop subscription for this address, mail:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
In both cases, I'll send a confirmation message to that address. When
you receive it, simply reply to it to complete your subscription.
If despite following these instructions, you do not get the
desired results, please contact my owner at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Please be patient, my owner is a
lot slower than I am ;-)

I tried the Template approach and it seemed to work fine, but when
I looked further into it, the Template was in fact the whole
multi-spreadhseet, so for every report I am saving my entire
database which includes details of hundreds of other customers not
involved with the report.
I tried making just that sheet into a Template, but all the formula
cells then contained the REF? error. I could run both spreadsheets
side by side and link them but the formulas become horrifically long.
I think I will have to stay with using my VLOOKUP sheet, printing
out the report, and then clearing it ready for the next one.

saved as a
separate file. I will have to remember to have my OOo calc
workbook running
when I use the template, and I wonder how it will be saved as
many of the
cell contents are the products of formula's. I will try it and see.
Keep us posted on progress.
Thanks, Ian
James,
It's time, I believe, for you to consider changing from spreadsheets
to a relational database (MySQL or PostgresQL) before this gets much
larger. You'll soon run into the 32,000 record limit in the
spreadsheets, which (I think) is growing to 65,000 in v. 2.0. These
addressing problems will go away. They'll be replaced by database
problems, but the time you spend solving those problems will be well
invested and will be more nearly permanent solutions.

Another possibility is that besides the notorious M$ code bloat, Ooo
files actually consist of several files stored in a compressed archive.
So when you click on an .sxw file, for example, this file as a
compressed archive of several files, resulting in smaller file sizes.
It's one of the advantages of Ooo. This can be see most clearly by
adding an Ooo file to a standard compmression utility such as WinZip or
WinRAR. When you extract it from that archive you'll get the
constituent files rather than the single .sxw file.

I would immediately suspect propriety compression systems in M$ and
probably OOo saved the file to work on all M$ versions whereas M$
products themselves save for their own version.

The other day I received a MS spread sheet which I was required to
amend and then return. There was no problem in opening it in OOo,
making some very minor amendments, and then sending it back in MS

considerably bigger than the one I received.
Why would that be?

[users] Can't change Printer settings of V1.1.3 when V1.1.4 is

Isn't there anybody who can help me with the following?
OS: Linux SuSE 9.2, up to date
OOo: V1.1.3 (SuSE rpm)
OOo: V1.1.4 (tar ball from OpenOffice.org installed under
/usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.1.4)
Both versions basically work independently(?), except for the second
problem
Problem:
1. I can't change the printer settings in V1.1.3 (anymore?). If I
change/create something it will not be saved.
2. I can't setup the user settings of V1.1.4. When I use 1.1.4 it can't
save "script.<something>" and another one at the end.
My questions:
1. Is there any permission problem I couldn't figure out yet?
2. Is there any overlapping of those two versions even though they are
installed at different locations?
3. Do I have to uninstall V1.1.4 and reinstall V1.1.3 in order to be
able to change the printer settings?
4. or how can I upgrade SuSE's V1.1.3 to V1.1.4?
Thanks a lot
Martin

Thanks to all those making suggestions, chris bonde got it, keep doing
the same thing till it goes, ie selecting paragraphs above the border and
keep trying to format them, after quite a few tries it worked. Odd to try
something again that didn't work the previous time. thanks Chris.
as for G. Roderick Singleton standard read the manual type reply, once
I knew the problem was an autoformat problem I did read the archives,
I didn't find anyone stating try doing the same thing over and over
again until it works. I've been on this list since August 2002, helping
quite a few people out where I can, usually directly as I don't like my

I'll bother anymore
thanks again to those who helped
You just have to go up until it goes. I had the same thing happen to me.
Turn on display unprintable characters, then delete each para marker above the
line
Chris
thanks for the explanation of what the double line is and how I came
by it, but your suggestions to remove it don't seem to work. they just
shuffle it up one line, its almost as if it was write protected or
something, I change the setting to none, click ok, it's still there,
go back to the dialog it has gone back to 4.5pt. try changing the line
arrangement to "set no border" it disappears in preview window but not
in the doc. click ok, it still there go back to the dialog, it's still
set for 4.5pt bottom border. can't easily copy the text to a new doc,
as I lose the layout of all the pictures in my doc.........a little
annoying. just tried to remove it in 1.9 still no joy, I can create a
new paragraph border and remove/ restyle that, but the old one that I
don't want always remains.

I see you couldn't be bothered to check the archives, the FAQs or the

As to you complaint about your email address, had you bothered to keep

You should let us know which version of OOo you use. I will guess that
it is 1.1.4. I suggest that you set Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org >

OOo is 1.1.2 and current Linux distribution is Ubuntu Linux. I have
done all that you said but all I get is blank Thunderburd's Compose

In light of recent news about the weaknesses of SHA-1, might it be
reasonable to consider SHA-next, where next is 256 or 512? Or perhaps
another algorithm entirely?

if you don't know, also SHA-1 was broken recently:
http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/02/cryptanalysis_o.html
stronger algorithms like SHA-256 and SHA-512 are recommended.P
The real question for us is whether either is strong enough for our
purposes. Our main use for any digest is to confirm that a user has
received an uncorrupted copy of OOo. For that purpose the CRC built into
gzip or zip is sufficient, but we use MD5 because it is easier to explain
how to run one program (md5sum) rather than first guessing what program the
user has for .zip archives and then explaining how to use its test options.
sha1sum is part of most GNU/Linux distributions, but I could only find one
source for sha1sum in MSWin when I googled recently.
If someone with ill intent wanted to replace a good copy of OOo with a bad
one, cryptographic attack on the digest is the least of our worries. It
would cost a lot less to subvert whoever is building the distribution
packages.
