Dear Pablo --
Thanks a lot for your indications. i checked them out and they
would be great for someone with quite a bit of computing skill and
knowledge but one of the things i´m hoping to see with this new version
of OO is something simple enough that a straightforward left join can be
established on two tables which have been created through the Oo
interface, a query made up which brings up the info from both tables and
which would also allow you to begin inputting information or which could
serve as the base upon which you could create forms and reports. The
instructions which i read still require, however little, some code
writing (not to mention understanding of what is going on behind the
scenes) and i´m afraid the managers in my office aren´t all that
interested in sending my co-workers to classes in Postgresql or HSQL
programming just to be able to set up a couple of related tables input
the info and run some queries on them. Gee, i had no idea it would be
this tough...
Anyway, Have a nice evening! :-)

Val, have you added any data to the tables yet and if so, how
have you done this? i have been trying to do this for several
months now by creating the two tables and then creating a query upon
which to base my input form and reports but when i go to try and
input the first row, the query comes up blank -- there is no first
row from the left join of the two tables. If i create a form based
on the query, no data can be input into the fields.
I don't know if I understood you correctly, but do you have two
tables and want to insert some data in both of them? If this is what
you intend, check the following tutorial:
http://documentation.openoffice.org/HOW_TO/data_source/link_tablehtml/
link.html#9.Creating%20a%20Form%20for%20the%20Data%20Source|outline
(one line)
First I tried to use a query for my form, but I could not edit any
data. The way it is described in the tutorial works for me.
Gruesse, Pablo
