Base is realtively new and gives little fanfare. Find and fix a bug in Writer, Calc or Impress you get recognition. Find a bug and fix it in Base, you might as well be on your own. Base only supports a limited subset of the functionality of Access and that is a really broken database engine. I support its uses though and think, like you, it needs a lot more work than it receives. > >Somehow your message got disconnected from the thread, so I hope the OP >sees it. I blame it on the broken web mail service that Earthlink.net provides. If they provided a real web mail service, that would not happen. Also, en_GB has been rejected due to missing lines in menus and other problems. Are you willing to help fix this or at least provide Quality Assurance?
