Hi Dave
How goes the battle - it's getting warmer - maybe you won't have to head south :-)
Do you use the StarOffice Suite? I would think you would be encouraged to but ?
If you do I thought you might be able to give me a pointer as to where I am going wrong.
I went to the support on line but it is not too helpful
I am trying to explore the StarOffice Base facility in a copy of Star Office 8 which I was given
as a complimentary download last Fall.
Until now I have used the package mainly for Word Processing, Spreadsheet, Image editing,
Presentations and HTML editing.
Aside from the long startup time I have had no serious problems once I got used to the syntax etc.
Now I am trying to use the DataBase portion but although I can create a database and tables
and access and modify existing dbf tables. I can't save created tables to a different format.
egdbfcsvorplain text
When I have the table open the Save and Save As buttons in the File Menu are grayed out.
When I open the File menu in the main form the Save button is grayed out and the Save As only
allows me to save to a different name in the same format.
I also have OpenOffice as a U3 app on a USB flash drive - I have the same problems using
the database portion of that ?
The help files say I can do these things but the buttons are not active.
Are there some filters which need to be activated or something like that?
Cheers
Thom
