Hello,
I am new to this list and may not have the protocol quite right yet.
Seems there is a different approach to the varied lists i belong too.
In short, I am a retired unix guy who has over 20 yrs on GIS and
Oracle. So being retired I am curious as to all ther 'freeware' I can
get my hands on and frankly am tired of the Windows world...it is boring
and requires alot of care....having said that the apps its supports is
unquestionably daunting...so i have to live there as well.
I recently downloaded the Open Office 2.x that supports the 'BASE'
module which is appealing to a guy who works on databases...soooo I gave
it a try and it crashed the app everytime i started to use
BASE..'Reports'...seems the FORM portion of this app works fine. During
the import of ASCII Delimited data it puked and the 'colums' were
describe in some foreign language and the 'row' information was foreign
as well. One person suggested it was the version of Java that I have on
my laptop...which is a good place to start, but I've gotton no response
from anyone else on this list just a bunch of deleted and non-read
replys...................SO does anyone have a clue or a direction you
could point me to see what the problem mght be?...I am asking before I
check out the java suggestion?
I thank all of you in advance.
Regards,
--
