***PING*** Base Guide Chapter 4: Forms

This chapter has been uploaded to the Base Folder:

http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/base-guide/draft-4.x/forms-data-input-and-removal/view

      Now I begin to write the Query chapter. The earlier chapter, Data Output, can be divided into two chapters: queries and reports. The Query chapter should have a lot of copy and paste of the first part of the Data Output chapter. Planning to have this done by the end of the month of May.

Hi :slight_smile:
WoooHoooo! Good work Dan! I hope someone is able to get it through the
next phase quite quickly! It is a LOT of work but is well worth it.

This is the guide that really started making it much easier for people to
get into using Base. Before this it was really tough to get any answers
about Base on the User Support mailing-list. Since this guide's chapter 1
appeared people got inspired to start-up the translation of the French Faq
by doing the whole of the Base section for that first. Also people quickly
realised that there was a LOT of work to be done in this area and that
there were so many different ways of using Base that a brief handbook was
also vital. Nowadays it is much more likely to get a decent answer on the
User Support mailing list and i suspect this chapter will generate a lot of
interest there when it gets released.

It's tough enough updating guides and 'just' re-writing or adding small
sections but writing something completely from scratch is hugely impressive
and much appreciated.

Many, many congrats on getting this done, again almost entirely
single-handedly (probably complete single-handedly). Good work!
Many regards from
