[libreoffice-users] [Solved] Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: Base Document - Forms
Hi :) Many thanks to Walther Koehler-4 and Paul-6! :)) Peter Goggin has been able to do the transfer. So i have copied all the answers in below to try to help make this easier to solve next time. Many thanks and regards to all! :) Regards from Tom :) Peter Goggin wrote I finally solved how to transfer the data from Access to Base. The steps are very simple and work well. During the creation stage I did not realize that while the Create button was available there was a Next stage also available where the data types of the newly crated table fields can be modified. (May be the Create button should not be available until the data types have been checked) Setting the date fields to date and the other fields to correct types solved the problems. Since my ACCESS data base allows me to fully check the forms documentation I will continue using this in parallel with the proper sample data bases. Regards Peter Goggin Walther Koehler-4 wrote Hi, export tables from MSACCESS as dbase files in a proprietary directory. Connect to that directory from LO-base. Yours Walther snip / Paul-6 wrote I've got some experience with various databases, but little with Access, sorry. Given the OP exported the data from Access once, I'd assume that it's possible to export to csv format instead of Excel spreadsheets, and I'd recommend that. Then importing into Base should be straightforward, and formatting shouldn't be lost. Access might even give some options for the export formats, but worst case the data can be massaged in Calc before importing into Base, say to change the date format. If the OP is still having trouble with this, he can try posting a couple of lines of the exported csv file, and we can see if there is a reason Base is not importing it correctly. This does sound like it should be possible with the method he is using, but it's much harder for me to debug. If he's using plain csv files, just posting a couple of lines would give me an idea of how the data looks, and I could test on my machine, which does have Base, but not Access. And if he wants to go to MySQL/MariaDB/PostgreSQL, again using csv files should be pretty straightforward, even if it does mean command line and queries, and not a GUI interface. Although those exist, I'm just not as familiar with them.

Re: [libreoffice-users] rtf files
Hi :) Rtf is an old proprietary format that is no longer being developed by Microsoft. It might be worth writing to the InDesign people to see if they can start supporting ODF. ODF, is the only ISO format that is implemented consistently as specified in the ISO specifications. As such it is increasingly being used by governments, large organisations and many other people too in order to ensure cross-platform and future-proof compatibility. Frankly it's a bit shocking to hear they don't support ODF already! I would tend to start thinking about other tools if they are already falling behind like that.

What you wrote here looks as nonsense to me, if alone due to the fact that the post you react on is ill-informed. I don't see anything in Tom's reply that looks even vaguely like nonsense. And I don't think the post is misinformed. I know it is claimed that *both* branches are stable, but that is of course just as inaccurate as saying that one is an unstable branch. The truth is that both are in a pretty stable condition, but one is *more* stable but less feature-full, and one is *less* stable and more feature-full, at least if things are as intended. Not a problem, per se, but a problem when not explained clearly. Many people, once finding out about the difference, will just use the common terms, and their associated meanings, of stable and testing, and be annoyed that they were tricked into using testing. Unless people are *clearly* told what the branches represent, and given a *choice*, LO will continually face this problem. In addition, from the misinformed post, this: *make it easy for people to use both the unstable and the stable version AT THE SAME TIME* Is another excellent suggestion (and could be expanded to include making it *easy* to have many versions side by side), along with making the website clearer about what the user is downloading and why, as was my previous suggestion.

Tom's material may not always be helpful in that it doesn't always have answers to the asked question, but it is always friendly, and attempts to be as helpful as he can be, even if it is just assuring the questioner that someone has heard and can suggest nothing further than the manuals. I don't really see a case for writings of 'mixed quality'. that the hope is that moderation will keep you a bit sharp - on the positive side. You mean to say his posts are being moderated? I always thought that was just his persecution complex showing. Hearing that he may be right does not me happy make. I see no reason in anything he has done since I've been on this list to suggest he may need moderation. Of course, maybe that's because his outrageous posts are all being discarded by the moderators.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice Still?
Hi :) Yes, Fresh is stable but because it's had new features added we can expect to find that some things that don't so well in Fresh and yet still find that they work perfectly fine in Still. To many of us that all sounds like a lot of politicians, or marketing, double-speak. Obviously what normal users users think of as stable is different from what devs think of. To most of us Stable means that functionality that we have grown used to still works just fine. That is clearly different from what the devs mean. The recent Rtf question is a classic example. The Still branch carries on working with it just fine. The Fresh branch seems to have a problem with it. To most of us that is an example of the Fresh branch being less reliable, less stable, than the Still branch. However the Fresh branch DOES have tons of advantages and i imagine that many, many people would choose Fresh rather than Still in many, many cases.
