Hi,
I have a table with my bussines trips: 3 columns for now - date, city and
company. When I browse my database searching for a trip, I want to have a
direct access to the inspection report, this is a OOo writer file. Is
there a possibility or may be a trick to set a link to a file in the
table? So that the 4th column points to the writer file and when I browse
the database with a form, I only have to click and it opens?
Any help is very welcome.

This is the most unspecific posting I've seen for long because it
addresses so many unspecified items. No OS is specified, nor app-version,
not type of source-document, nor type of target-document not even what has
been tried so far.
In Win XP pro/SP2 using the calc of OO 2.0.3
- put the cursor in the cell you want,
- do Insert/Hyperlink
- choose Document and find the file to which you want the link.
- you can choose text that will be displayed when you hover the mouse over
the cell
- click Apply
- click Close
I assume, given that OO is designed to be cross platform, that this works in
a very similar, if not identical way on other OS's. If it doesn't work like
this in versions earlier than 2.0.3 (the latest) then that's a good reason
to upgrade ;-)
On Windows the type of the document (as specified by the filename's
extension) will determine what program opens the file when you click the
cell. Not sure how this is handled on *nix; mime types I assume.
Hope this helps.
