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.
I was having these problems with same spreadsheet data sources in 1.1.4
but I found that updating to 1.9.118 sorted them out. I assume that v2.0
(which i don't yet have) will maintain these bug-fixes.
Cheers, Andrew.
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
