OK, I managed to get Base to open the .csv file. But now I can't get it to update the data if I change the .csv file. I entered several more books in Tellico, then exported again to .csv. When I exported I told Tellico to overwrite the existing .csv file. Then in Base I clicked on the Refresh button in the toolbar. Made no difference. Base still sees only the data from the original version of the .csv file. As an alternative, I tried exporting to a new .csv file, but I couldn't find any way to get Base to add this as a new table. That is, I could go register it as a new database, but I want all the tables in the same database. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
