Base is continuing to puzzle me. Maybe somebody can
help me with this or point out where I could find
information?

I am desperately trying to get an application running
where the front-end maintainence of mysql tables should be
done in OpenOffice. The deadline is approaching and
it does not seen that this can get solved in OO, while
it seems to work without problems in MS Access  :(

The main issue is still a way to edit many-to-many
relationships. I want the user to be able to
have several subforms in a main form. The main
form shows the main table information and the sub
forms are supposed to show the items that relate
to that row in the main table through a many-to-many
relationship.

Some of the difficulties that arose are these:

*) there is no direct support for many-to-many relations.
I wanted to solve this by having the subform edit the
many-to-many table and using a listbox to show the information
from the third table.
This worked as long as I had only one subform, but
when I added another (by copy-paste and changing the form
information), neither of the two forms worked any more.
The original form did not show any data any longer and
was totally unresponsive to clicks.

*) How do I add a subform to an existing form? I was unable
to find any function that does this. Adding a subform
in the form navigator did not show anything in the main form?

*) in the listbox control, what is the difference between
SQL and SQL (native)

*) in the listbox control, what is the "bound field" number
supposed to mean?

*) What is the menu option tools->Relationships supposed to do
and why does clicking it tell me that my DB does not support relations??

Is there any documentation out there about how to get this done?
Do you think it is at all possible to get this done with OO?
I would really want to implement this in OO, but if it is not
possible I will have to deliver it for MS Access :/
