Re: [libreoffice-users] Which components do you use most?

I hesitated to reply to this thread because I don't use LO's native Base, HSQL, but rather, for the last 3 years, I have been using H2SQL, which is proving much more robust that HSQL. But I guess that Base is designed to be the front end for all the major databases, so here is my contribution. My

Hi :) It is a classic neurotypical thing that many in IT find really tough to cope with. So i can both see why some people are having trouble with it and why others find it fun. The "getting acquainted with people in a group" is an excellent summary of it. It's fun for some and difficult for oth

I have a vendor who allows me to download a spreadsheet of my monthly invoice. If she downloads it to herself, in the CSV format, she gets 1 field per column in Excel. If I download the sheet in the CSV format, I get all of the fields in 1 column. See headings below from libreoffice. Hardwa
