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.
