I am creating a form in OOo base but I need help with two form
elements that I cannot figure out how to create. I have been googling
and reading tfa for some hours (including some old posts of my own)
but these issues remain:

1) Dropdown box of suggested data for varchar field
My database has a varchar field. In practice, the data being entered
into this field would most likely be A, B, or C, but there needs to be
the option to add other data. Therefore, I would like to have a hybrid
dropdown box / single-line text area that lets the user either select
A, B, or C from the dropdown list, or alternatively enter his own
value via keyboard.

2) Configurable datetime field
On page 20 of the Getting Started with Base pdf file available from
the OOo website [1] (actually marked as page 16 in the document
footer),one can see the date fields already complete with the current
date, yet configurable to change to a different date. How is this
done? Also, can this be done with a datetime field as opposed to just
a date field?

Thanks in advance for any help.
