RE: [LegacyUG] How to merge a basic source into ESM template source using Access
Richard, I had a look at this to see if it would work in OpenOffice. In principle it should, although the syntax of the query is quite different - anyone who uses OOo should be able to convert it without difficulty. Unfortunately I was unable to verify whether the procedure works in OOo. This is because I'm an unreconstructed lumper and Source Writer has forced me to be somewhat less unreconstruced, hence my old and new files are not sufficiently compatible to test.
