I thought that there were two exceptions...... Can you edit a dBase file without a primary key? Perhaps there is only one exception.

Hi all,

I'm very interested in changing over to Open Office but I have a few
problems with the database package.

1. I need to import data which is given to me in CSV format. I found through
the help files that I have to open the file in the spreadsheet program then
drag into the database program. So far so good,  but unless I add a Primary
Key I cannot edit the data.  Any way I can avoid adding the Primary Key?

2. When creating reports I sometimes need to add a summary field at the
bottom of a column, but I have no idea how it's done (if it is done at all)
in the Database program. I can't find anything in the help.
