RE: BASE questions
Hi I am curious to know if you got any useful reply to your mail back on 29/7/19 regarding Base.
I have found that it always an item that not many are familiar with and tend o leave Base alone and consencreate
0n the the equivilent to Excel.
I am trying to convert an industrial program in excel to Base.
I wnote to colleges locally and needless to say none offered even the Ms base. Not even our local
Uni so am slowing making my way through using the Internet.
Best wishes

Subject: BASE questions
I'm new to Base and discovering just how ignorant I am despite 40 years
working in IT. I have created a simple data base with three tables.
When trying to create relationships and forms it's become obvious that
some of my field definitions need to be changed. Problem 1: how can I
display all of the variables I used to specify each field? Problem 2:
I created a table and made a mess of it. How can I delete that table?
DROP TABLE ... hasn't worked. Problem 3: The ID in my main table is a
numeric sequential number. Can I define the field so that the number is
automatically assigned using a field type?
Background: I'm working in OpenOffice 4.1.6 on a MacBook Pro running
MacOS 0.13.6. My first reference is to LibreOffice 4.0 Base Handbook,
OO helps, OpenOffice Forum, then finally Google. I assume that
LibreOffice BASE and OO BASE are sufficiently similar that LO
documentation should be relevant to OO BASE.
thanks,

Roy,
This is a mail list of users of OpenOffice, while I personally can’t help you with this issue, if you’re patient someone who has experience with Base should be able to help you. Please allow 72 hours for replies as this is an international users group and many do not respond to email over weekends and or while they’re sleeping.
