The help text says you can link to a named range in an HTML, Calc, or 
Excel file - so apparently not to a database file.



How can I link to an existing database which was created with Libreoffice?


I don't think you can.  You can copy and paste (or even drag and 
drop) a Base table into a Calc spreadsheet, but you then have a 
fossilised copy, not a link, of course.


I trust this helps.

[libreoffice-users] [calc]when link to external data, which is libreoffice .odb file, OK button disabled

2014-01-05 Thread Larry Evans

In calc, when I try to insert a link to:

  ~/evansl/prog_dev/LibreOffice/database/products_supplier.odb

from the Insert>Link to external Data...

the OK button remains disabled.  How can I link to an existing
database which was created with Libreoffice?

My os infor is:

~/prog_dev/LibreOffice/database $ uname -a
Linux evansl-Inspiron-531 3.2.0-58-generic #88-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 3 
17:37:58 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

~/prog_dev/LibreOffice/database $

My Libreoffice info is:

~/prog_dev/LibreOffice/database $ libreoffice4.1 --version
LibreOffice 4.1.2.3 40b2d7fde7e8d2d7bc5a449dc65df4d08a7dd38
