[users] recovering corrupt .odb databases
Hi, I've got a .odb database that was used on a samba share with OpenOffice.org version 3.2.1 and when i try to open the file i get the Filter selection window. After digging around on the net i unziped the .odb file and saw errors that the database/backup file couldn't be opened (it was zero length). I removed the empty backup file and re-zipped the .odb file. I can now open the file, but when i click on 'Tables' or any of the Forms i get: The connection to the data source fish could not be established SQL Status: S1000 Error code: -40 General error: org.hsqldb.lib.FileSystemRuntimeException: java.io.IOException: o:/OOO320/src/package/source/xstor/xstorage.cxx: :3331; I've tried the hsqldb command line tool on the database and I can connect to it and e.g. \dt shows the right tables, but: sql \d Suppliers Error at 'stdin' line 4: \d Suppliers Failed to get metadata from database. Cause: java.sql.SQLException: Table not found in statement [SELECT * FROM Suppliers] Does anyone know any way to recover from this? btw: running strings on the data file shows reasonable content, and strings | wc -l compared to an older version shows that the newer version has more content, so it dosn't look like the data has been truncated. P.S. There is a commercial product called Kernel for Base from nucleus technologies that claims to be able to fix things like this, does anyone know if it actually works? attachment: jasper.vcf signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
[users] Sum values on IF
I have a spread sheet with lots of color values: Blue, White, Red, Orange, Gray, etc What Im wanting to do is have a cell that keeps a total of how many of each: Blue = 52, White = 2 etc I was using something like IF(C2=Red, 1)+IF(C3=Red, 1)+etc but that obviously gets crazy after a few rows. How can this be done faster?

[users] function as cell reference
I want the average of all the non-empty cells in a column 'c' starting at row 3. I tried: =AVERAGE(C3:c$(count(C3:C51)+3)) I'm sure it is simple. I need to make c$(count(C3:C51)+3) a cell reference.
