[dba-dev] Base Users Guide ?
HI, Just noted a new sign up at the OOoAuthors project - and she is interested in working on a Base manual. Seems long past time for the members of the project to pull together and get *something* together - doesn't it? So - if there is anyone on the lists here interested in helping with that effort now might be a good time to touch base with the OOoAuthors folks..."strike while the irons hot" so to speak.

[dba-dev] Table wizard quirks OOo dev 3.2 m47 (partof SRB for ...)
Hi all, From my earlier mail: >1. in table wizard, the personal and bussiness categories content changed with each other, you can find for >example CD-Collection in bussiness category. (in both win/linux) I logged out stated new session on linux, same error. >2. form wizard when you finished creation, with option work with the form, window closes and not opens >back, and not saves into Form area - Form lost. (On linux version caused OOo crash) If you select edit >mode, the form opens in edit mode and saves into Form area. (On linux/rpm version caused OOo crash) In this part I made some more observation, it is only happens when creates new table with wizard as in first step. If you create table in design mode forms works as needed. If you creates tables with wizard, and after form with wizard, form cause crash on linux, on win not crate form. It is independent from file creation, it is happens with newly created file or with old file. Crash reports: rvpfwvc and r5pfwvc.

Re: [dba-dev] SRB for DEV300 - OOo 3.2 versions
Hi Ocke, I deleted user profile, and installed SRB 1.1 beta4 again, old reports not opens, can not create new report in design mode, but some thing blinks up (I think the "Add field" window) when click on create report in desing view. If I start report wizard, the "Add field" selection window came up, and stays open, but report edit window not cames up. I can select fields, sort the fields, unselect sorting. I can click on insert, no open edit window, nothing happens.
