Hi Dan, Andrew and others, Yes, thank you.
I decided to go for dbase not calc as Andrew posted that calc data sources are only ever RO. (!) It seems to be the solution I was after as it's not much hassle to install it on another machine (I am preparing this for someone else and I won't be there to help them set it up at their end), and I can always copy the table into a spreadsheet if needed. *** still needing help: Where does ooo save QUERIES? Can't find 'em, they aren't saved in the folder with the tables, which means they get lost when you move the database to another machine. Anyone know? thanks, rich On Friday 21 October 2005 16:21, Dan Lewis wrote: On Friday 21 October 2005 10:06 am, rich lott wrote: > On Friday 21 October 2005 15:38, G.
