In addition you could take a look at the Community Forum at http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/index.php which is a more specialised support area that tends to deal with more advanced questions and solutions. It has a section devoted to Base which has subsections for Tables & Queries, Forms, Reporting and External Data Sources. It's free too :-) -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to users@openoffice.org
