I regularly use Base and I suggest it to people who are looking for a free alternative to Access. As Access, Base is not he most user friendly software of the OpenOffice package, but it works fine for several applications. If needed, after I will have ended my exams on July 11th, I'm in !! Ralph
----Messaggio originale---- Da: [email protected] Data: 28-giu-2013 20.55 A: "[email protected]"<[email protected]> Ogg: Getting started with OpenOffice Base (tutorial) I think one of the challenges of testing OpenOffice Base is that not many people use it. We're all familiar with word processors, spreadsheets and presentations, but not everyone uses databases. I look on the wiki for QA Testing Preferences: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/QA+Testing+Preferences And I see that almost no one says they know Base, but many say they are willing to learn. Well.... Now is the time to learn ;-) I looked around for good tutorials and saw many recomendations for "Base Tutorial: From Newbie to Advocate in a one, two... three!" by Mariano Casanova: http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?p=201074#p201074 So maybe we can accomplish two things at once? If a few of us work through the tutorial on AOO 4.0, then we can teach ourselves Base, while testing the functionality described in the tutorial at the same time. What do you think? Who can help? -Rob --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
