OOo 2.03, Ubuntu-Dapper amd-64 1) I have created a form with 50 combo boxes with drop-downs. Each combo box is given a unique name by numbering them in the Properties box, e.g., ComboBox01 through ComboBox50. They are tied to a database created in Base which has 110 entries. Everything is working fine except that they are not independent. Whatever the user selects in any of the boxes appears immediately in the other 49 boxes. I thought that giving them unique names would make them independent, but apparently there is something else I must do. What is it?
2) I am trying to "refresh" the database. For example, I decide to change one of the entries, but the combo box still shows the old entry. I have resaved the form, but the combo box still sees the old data. Eventually it updates, but I can't figure out what the mechanism is. I must eventually do whatever it is that causes the combo box to update itself to the database, but what is it? 3) I just now really screwed up my database, which includes a field containing IPA characters. In an attempt to get the combo boxes to update themselves I clicked on Update in the database toolbar (I keep the toolbar visible with F4 above the form). Well, "Refresh" sorted the database for me, an unanticipated result. Unfortunately, it sorted it based on (I think) the Unicode character encoding for the characters, not the way I had entered them. There is no way to undo it. It looks like I am going to have to re-enter all 110 entries by hand, because that's the only way I can see to get them back in the order I want them. Is there a way to lock the sort order in a table? Or is there a way to drag a row (record) up and down in Base? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
