Enrique,
This does work, when you are on the document where you want to put the
references click on F4, the datasources will appear if you double click
on them you open the bibliography in the OOBase software, please look at
the folloing e-mail I sent earlier on:
Well, The database is in the software files and not in the sxw file
so it will not come with the document. I don't know any easier
method than the following ones:
A. Copying the bibligraphy file (C:\Documents and Settings\[User
Name]\Application Data\OpenOffice.org1.9.95\user\database) to the
othercomputer to the same location
or
B. copying it to another location and modifying the registered
databases (Tools->Options->OpenOffice Base->Databases->Edit
"Bibliography"->change the location of the document).
The first one is probably the easiest if you want to do it only a
few times, but if you want to do it regularely, it might be a good
idea to change the location of the database to a more accessible
location.
I hope that you have understood what I am saying and that it helped you,
Andrew
P.S: If you want to get into something much more sophisticated
(having the database on a web server and not needing to transfer it
each time), you should look into something like a SDBC Driver, but
that is much more advanced and I don't think that that corresponds
to your needs.
