------- Additional comments from bij...@openoffice.org Tue Sep 8 03:31:56 +0000 2009 ------- This a more of an Excel problem than a OOo-Base issue. But I would like to see this feature first come OOo than a MS-Product. At work I do a lot of data processing. User generally sent me data in an MS-Excel or CSV format. They have MS-Access on there PC, but still they use MS-Excel format. As Excel never insist to define or use consistent data type on a column, there are a lot of crap data, which causes lot of problems while processing data. I wish vendors make a much more user friendly database module in their Office Applications. So here is my suggestion to make Base more user friendly. * When user start OOo Base dont prompt for a file name. Just like the way we do in Writer and Calc, open up a blank in memory database with name "Untitled". * this in-memory db should contain 3 tables named "table1", "table2", "table3" (there should be a preference setting to say how many tables need to be created automatically) * each new table should by default have 10 string fields named "field1", "field2"..."field10" * each new table should by default have 10 blank records * when exiting OOo Base or saving database, base module should promt for database name. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
