Re: [libreoffice-users] Auto Filling Drop Down Boxes
Hi :) If you are familiar with those tools then i am sure you could find an answer faster. I am not a dev and am not familiar with those tools. I do trust devs and others that are familiar with those tools to give true and fair information, especially when very different such people give roughly the same information in different lists for different reasons (usually to try to prove me wrong about something). Information that does keep being repeated is that there are well over a hundred devs that have worked on LibreOffice but at most only 3 have touched Base. Apparently a few hundred bugs to fix including regressions that make it impossible to guess which quirks a particular release of Base might suffer from. If someone already has a database that does already work then now is not the time for them to migrate to something that might well have serious problems for them later on. People in here have been great at solving one-off problems but there is no guarantee they would be able to fix all the issues the op requires and there is no commitment from TDF's SC/BoD to supporting Base properly.

[libreoffice-users] Auto Filling Drop Down Boxes
Hello, I am wanting to do something in Base, but I am not sure what the “action” (auto filling?) is called, so I am not sure what subject to research. If you could let me know what I should be researching, or provide an example, it would be appreciated. I have three drop down boxes: City, State, Zip as part of an address record. As of now, I have to make independent selections for each of these drop down boxes. What I would like to do is when selecting a city from the drop down box list, then related state and zip information would automatically be filled in, in their respective drop down boxes, and the information stored in their respective db cells. For example: By selecting MINNEAPOLIS from the City drop down box list, MN would automatically be filled in, in the State drop down box, and 55407 would automatically be filled in, in the Zip drop down box. Or, by selecting TAMPA from the City drop down box list, FL would automatically be filled in, in the State drop down box, and 33605 would automatically be filled in, in the Zip drop down box. I am moving my db from Access to LibreOffice, so I know Access much better, but I was never able to figure this out in Access either. If you happen to know the answer in either Access or Base I should be able to figure it out from there.

Hi :) I would stay with Access for now. There is almost no-one working on Base so it's gradually getting worse as regressions slip in.
