Hi new to using forms that interact with data sources. Lots of questions, unable to find any helpful documentation!
data source is a calc spreasheet. I'm trying to create a simple, portable (ie. ideally a single file that works wherever it's copied to) database of contacts. (If calc offered Excel's drop-down for data-entry into fields feature I wouln't be bothering to create a form) **does anyone know** of any good tutorials/guides online anywhere? Has anyone any experience of this? If so, could we chat over email? More specific stuff here: So far, any changes to the spreadsheet don't register with the data sources manager - new or renamed sheets don't appear, neither do fields. Have to completely restart ALL ooo apps to get changes registered. disconnecting and reconnecting to the data source didn't work. When I've made a form (my autoform thing doesn't work: debian/testing version tells me to run openoffice setup - which I don't have) it won't let me edit data. All the obvious stuff is done (form is set to allow editing, file isn't RO etc). What gives? thank you rich --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
