stuff, like phase of the moon, training route is in proximity to major power
transmission lines on three of every five training days (I'm makin' this up,
but you get the idea... not purely numeric stuff, but also true-false, high/low.
How about similar for health/medical tracking, with info like (but not limited
to) weight, physical dimensions, meds, symptoms (occurrence, intensity, etc.),
side-effects (occurrence, intensity, etc.), treatment progress for
major-illness recovery (heart, stroke, cancer, diabetes, other), progress for
sports-injury rehab, tracking dose-vs-efficacy of herbal or non-standard
treatments, etc.
In either case, I don't particularly wish to re-invent the wheel, but I'd like
to have a wheel and understand it enough to personalize it.
The fitness group is also ok with on-line and shared solutions. But the
health-problems group is concerned about privacy of data, so local control is
preferred.

Hi Kevin
OK - Base vs Calc....ah, take your pick.
*Calc*
go to http://templates.services.openoffice.org/
Do a search for "Exercise"...there are templates from a number of sources.
*Base*
Create a new Base file:
File>New>Database
Click Finished and give it a name
(Assuming your have OO.o 3.1 or better)
You are now on the Tables section of the Base window
It;s empty
In the task section click on "Use wizard to create table..."
On the dialog select "Category" -> "Personal"
In the drop down box, "Sample tables"
Select "ExerciseLog"
Select all the fields
Save it
There you go, a starting database.

ps I started a few forms to go with the Base template table a good while
back, if you are interested I'll dig that file up and send it along to
the list.
