             Bug #: 51523
           Summary: EDITING: Database Format TIME [HH]:MM:SS not working
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: medium
         Component: Database
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: cw...@home.nl


In order to give the duration of a event in total houres, I made a list in Calc
where one collumn has the format [HH]:MM:SS. The format in Calc works
correctly. However by importing the data in Base, I get the message that this
format is not supported in Base. Trying to make the tablefield by hand, the
fieldformat TIME [HH]:MM:SS is accepted but it acts as HH:MM:SS. E.g. it shows
only houres between 00:00:00 and 23:59:59. Input of a value larger than
23:59:59 results in starting to count from 00:00:00.

The funny thing is if I make the fieldformat NUMMERIC (length 10 with 6
decimals), entering the nummeric timevalue (1,615278 = 38:46:00) and I use in a
form this field with the format [HH]:MM:SS it displays the duration correctly.
But using the form I can't make any changes in the field because then it
returns to act as HH:MM:SS.

Calculating and displaying correct time-events is a feature that a database
should support. That is why i see this problem as major. Searching the internet
I discovered that the problem exists in Libreoffice and Openoffice. There are
lots of questions but no answers. And i cann't find the report of this problem.

As OS I use Windows (Vista and XP) and Linux (Xubuntu)
I use Libreoffice 3.5.4.2 but i think the problem is not version-specific.

Greetings from a Dutch user.
