[libreoffice-users] Base scenario
Hi All Some advice and comments please. I'm running a MySQL Database (5.1.55) with Base as the Front-End (3.6.2.2) on PCLinuxOS (2012). I have a Membership Database and have added a SubForm to show all the eMails sent and received from each Member. The eMails are all in a separate Table. On my Main Membership Form I have added a button to bring-up the eMail SubForm. (I have this part working!) But what I see as the best way to do the last step is to add a ListBox named Find Member to the SubForm and this will read from a Query holding the concatanated First Name and Surname of each Member and that Member's ID Key. Once these are inserted into the SubForm it will extract all the relative eMails, sort them into date order and display them. So - Questions and Advice please on the following... * Is this the right way to approach this requirement? * Will the Query update automatically each time it is called so as to pick-up new eMails? * How do I make the ListBox 'read' the results of the Query? * How do I make these results automatically insert into their respective fields on the SubForm? * How do I make the SubForm do the sort as a final step? (Maybe a 'Sort' Button??) Any help, suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated!!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Apache user can't run libreoffice --headless
Thanks for your reply. I looked at all the results of ps -aux last night and didn't see any service that would affect it. I solved the issue earlier today. Long story short, libreoffice needs a directory to write a temp file to and it writes to whatever is in $HOME so I needed to put export HOME=/apache/writable/ directory and that solved it.

[libreoffice-users] ApacheOpenOffice and LibrOffice migration and sharing acor_en-US.dat
Hi, I am a long term user of ApacheOpenOffice but want to use both AOO (I presume that's the abbrv.) and I have customized things from colors to toolbars in AOO, and over the years my acor_en-US.dat has also grown a lot. Therefore I would like to know, #1. Can I copy the whole user folder from AOO to LO, or at least the wordbook and config folders? If not how about acor_en-US.dat, and the files for the toolbars and the colors (the OptionsOpenOffice.orgColors)? But which files are for the toolbars and the colors? 2. Can I go into Paths and change the defaults for AutoCor and AutoText so that both AOO and LO share the same ones? I do use both Word Pros concurrently, but would not be writing to these files at the same time. 3. What purpose does adding another path (in Options) for AutoCor and AutoText actually serve? I have asked about sharing the AutoCor and AutoText files on OOo forum a while back, but no one really gave an answer, and I do not want to corrupt them. I have merged them in the past however. Thanks for any help and may God bless. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/ApacheOpenOffice-and-LibrOffice-migration-and-sharing-acor-en-US-dat-tp4025019.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-users] ApacheOpenOffice and LibrOffice migration and sharing acor_en-US.dat
Hi :) Yes, you can copypaste the AOO User Profile to the location used by LO. Then when you install or upgrade LO it picks-up the copy and uses that. If you already have LO installed then it still picks up the copy but there might be some things missing or set-up 'wrongly' (for LO). Doing an install of LO just after doing the copy helps give LO the chance to set things straight. There are possibly potential problems with just changing the paths in Tools - Paths so that AOO and LO share a single profile. I suggested it a couple of weeks ago and got a lot of people pointing out that it could create problems. I would be tempted to create regular back-ups of the single profile and just see what kind of errors occur, but i have the advantage of saving regularly to a network where all my files are regularly backed-up without me having to do anything. I think it would be a bad idea for most people.

You can merge them but it requires decompression and WinMerge. I would rather they were just regular text files. And what does adding a second path besides the default for AutoCor achieve? Would you also know which files are for the toolbars (the LO one in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\3\user\config\soffice.cfg\modules\swriter\toolbar (Vista-W/8 path) is empty, unlike in AOO) and colors? I guess there is no chart yet for what all the files in the user folder do, but I might try to make one if I knew! Thanks again. From: PeaceByJesus lt; saved2serve@ gt; To: users@.libreoffice Sent: Tuesday, 18 December 2012, 20:00 Subject: [libreoffice-users] ApacheOpenOffice and LibrOffice migration and sharing acor_en-US.dat Hi, I am a long term user of ApacheOpenOffice but want to use both AOO (I presume that's the abbrv.) and I have customized things from colors to toolbars in AOO, and over the years my acor_en-US.dat has also grown a lot. Therefore I would like to know, #1. Can I copy the whole user folder from AOO to LO, or at least the wordbook and config folders? If not how about acor_en-US.dat, and the files for the toolbars and the colors (the OptionsOpenOffice.orgColors)? But which files are for the toolbars and the colors? 2. Can I go into Paths and change the defaults for AutoCor and AutoText so that both AOO and LO share the same ones? I do use both Word Pros concurrently, but would not be writing to these files at the same time. 3. What purpose does adding another path (in Options) for AutoCor and AutoText actually serve? I have asked about sharing the AutoCor and AutoText files on OOo forum a while back, but no one really gave an answer, and I do not want to corrupt them. I have merged them in the past however. Thanks for any help and may God bless. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/ApacheOpenOffice-and-LibrOffice-migration-and-sharing-acor-en-US-dat-tp4025019.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+help@.libreoffice Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+help@.libreoffice Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/ApacheOpenOffice-and-LibrOffice-migration-and-sharing-acor-en-US-dat-tp4025019p4025056.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

[libreoffice-users] LO Installation
Good day! When I try to install LibreOffice 3.5 in domen through script (msiexec /i \\test.vz\LOGIN\Install\LibreOffice3.5.msi SELECT_WORD=0 SELECT_EXCEL=0 SELECT_POWERPOINT=0 ADDLOCAL=ALL REMOVE=gm_p_Base,gm_p_Base_Bin,gm_p_Draw,gm_p_Draw_Bin /qn) it changes all file associations on WinXP form MS to LO (Win7 change extension docx, xlsx, pptx), but I don't need it. How can I correct script or installation ? Yet one question: users work in organization with MS and LO. Default extansion for file saving is docx and xlsx. Often happen problems when files created in MO after open and save in LO change formatting. Are expected improved supporting of this format in LO ? -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
