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
