I created a database with two tables. The purpose of this database is to monitor what supplies (SUPPLIES table) were given to who (CLIENT table), when they were given, and how many. I hope I have my structure correct, but if there;s any room for improvement, it would be more than welcome.


I'd be interested to see how it all works out. However, I think your
best bet is to ask on the base mailing list:

http://projects.openoffice.org/index.html
  http://dba.openoffice.org/
   http://dba.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectMailingListList
    [email protected]


Kind of OT - but first - the poster also posted at the u...@dba list and will get someone to help.

But back to my off topic question:

Why is it that no one seems to use the Writer projects user mailing list, or the Impress one - Why have all of the support emails for the different packages coming via this single list?

Just curious how it came that those other, module specific lists, seemed to have not caught on.

I'd guess it's because (1) this is the natural "first stop" for new users; (2) lots more people are to some degree "product experts" on Writer, Calc, and Impress than on Base, so users can nearly always get their questions answered here for those modules, without needing more specialized help; and (3) it's much easier for people to transfer their Word, Excel, and PowerPoint knowledge into OOo than their Access knowledge; Base is much less "pretrained" so users need more hand-holding than those experts who typically follow this list (notably you and Frank, and quite often Ariel) can easily supply here.
