------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Dec 21 06:43:04 -0800 2005 ------- Adding a data import button similar to the one in Microsoft Access would greatly improve the usability of Openoffice Base. I tried for an hour with Openoffice (and failed) to import a csv file with 87600 rows and 20 columns using the first line in the columns as the field names. Although after a bit more research I could probably have written a script to create a text table first then copy the data across to a native Base table my ordinary users certainly could not do this. As each file we want to import has different column headers this could become tedious. MS Access did this task in a couple of minutes, correctly naming the fields and correctly determining the field data type from the format of the text data (some of the fields are date / time etc...). The other alternative would be to remove the restriction on the maximum number of rows in the OOo Calc component. Some of our data sets have 250000 rows and 1000 columns. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
