Re: Getting started with OpenOffice Base (tutorial)
Dear Mechtilde It is not suggested to terminate Base. But separating it from the suite and developing it in its own pace. There is a big bug gap in the popular parts of the suite that can not be neglected by the rarely used part of the suite.

R: Getting started with OpenOffice Base (tutorial)
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 !!

Hello Edwin, hello at all, Bass is not as much used as e.g Writer. But I know many people included me who use Base and are glad that we have such a tool in a free office suite (free as in freedom) Kind regards Mechtilde Am 29.06.2013 19:33, schrieb Edwin Sharp: > If no one use it, why not remove from suite? > Why waste time on Base instead of improving Writer or Calc? > > On Fri, Jun 28, 2013, at 21:55, Rob Weir wrote: >> I think one of the challenges of testing OpenOffice Base is that not >> many people use it. >> >> And I see that almost no one says they know Base, but many say they >> are willing to learn. > > > - > To unsubscribe, e-mail: qa-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: qa-h...@openoffice.apache.org > > signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: Getting started with OpenOffice Base (tutorial)
If no one use it, why not remove from suite? Why waste time on Base instead of improving Writer or Calc?

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.
