Hi list,
I'm new to openoffice-base so forgive if I'm missing something, I
have searched a bit but could not find answers to this question:
-With filemaker when you change a field and there are other
values on the form wich are related to the field you changed the
related values change instantly, with openoffice-base you have to
do next and previous before you actually see what has changed,I
have tried to solve this with macros (a macro wich does save +
next + previous) with some succes but it seems to me there must
be an easier way.
I am using version 2.2 on fedora 7 with postgresql-sdbc driver
any ideas ?
kind regards

You might want to try removing the Fedora version of OOo and install
the rpm from the OOo site. The Fedora version has missing
functionality due to alleged patents and copyrights for some of the
functionality found in the OOo Official version.
I am too tired to check, but the email caught my eye... I think that I
dealt with this in AndrewBase.odt a little bit. Off hand, I think that
it depends on how the fields are related. For some things, the values
are propagated for you (relating tables in sub-forms) but for others, it
must be done (probably) using a macro.
As for using the Fedora build of OOo or the standard version. I switched
to the standard version for 64 bit fedora because of bugs in the 64 bit
port. They are perhaps fixed now, but I see no reason to use anything
but the standard version unless you need the changes related to MS Macro
compatibility.
