------- Additional comments from stieble...@openoffice.org Sat Mar 20 16:56:21 +0000 2010 ------- Description of how to transfer data from an existing database (eg from MS Access)to Open Office Base, in such a way that the OO database can be used as a stand-alone database, is woefully inadequate. I've created a one-page document that summarizes succinctly the processes needed, and which have worked for me. The document is really a summary of other people's input in my words. PLEASE add it, or something similar, to the original Base Help documentation. It takes far too long to search all the wikis and forums without the right key search words. It is evident that numerous other users have experienced the same difficulty. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
