Greetings All,
I am new to Linux and this is my first post to the forum. Hope I do it
right. While I have often used OOo Writer and Calc in Windows, I had
never opened Base. The subject line was going to read, "Did Base not
come with Ubuntu?" because there was no way to start it. I played with
Synaptic, though, and now have access to Base. In starting my first
file, it immediately asks me, "Do you want the wizard to register the
database in OpenOffice.org?" My question is, Why would I want to do
that? I answered No because I don't really see the need. Would one (or
more) of you more experienced users please enlighten me? Many TIA!
Hi Earl,
You you have noticed Base is an extra package when using Ubuntu and is
added from the package manager or the Software Center.
To answer your question, to be able to access base files from within
other parts of OpenOffice.org, for example mail merge, the database has
to be registered.
Hope this helps.
Andy
