------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jun 14 21:56:12 +0000 2007 ------- The details of this enhancement are: Change the Table Selection page of the combo box and list box wizard to allow selection of Tables, Queries and SQL from current data source Additionally allow SQL command selection for the display data source. This should include the ability to open a query designer window with a table or query preselected. On this second point, this is different from how this feature is implemented in the different editors where an SQL command is accepted. In these the query designer is opened with the select table/query dialog opened. IMO, an implementation here that did the same is acceptable, the request for the table or query to be preselected from the function within the wizard is an additional change. The motivation for the change request is the number of new users that have asked on the Forum regarding displaying data from multiple columns in the combo or list box control. Since for new users, new computer users particularly, the wizard for this data source selection will be the first interface to these controls, the current implementation makes it appear that this single field display is the only option available. It is less of a problem for experienced users of other computer applications, but even then combined with the different approach to displaying multiple column data from the major competitors application even these more experienced users can be mislead into believing that it is not possible with OO.o controls. I understand that new controls are in the planning stages that would address multiple field displays, but this change is valid regardless of the control displaying only one calculated field, or in the future multiple fields. So any effort here, before the new controls are development should in no ways be waisted, IMO. See attached mockup.png for UI suggestion. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
