Base Guide Chapter 9 Macros; Expanding section on Access2Base

Howdy,

I grabbed the draft file for chapter 9 today and gave it a cursory read
over.

Jotted down a couple of items I would like to change.

By far the largest would be to expand the section on the Access2Base
standard basic library.

What is there now is inadequate IMO.

I would look to add a small reference section on the main function in the
library, using the access2base wiki as a source for but not a copy paste in
total.

Also would include the TTNorthWind Calc file and database (as the current
zip file from the acess2base wiki), for distribution with the other files
in the supplemental folder.

Then again use, figure it would save time, information about how that Calc
was crafted from the tutorial also found on the access2base wiki as my
template for that.

Before I start on something like though thought I'd run it by everyone
here.

Time wise, I think, after spending taking some time just now to go over the
embedded basic library in the example Calc file and if I borrow from the
wiki for text then something by Wednesday mid morning. Maybe ready for a
review, maybe not, but something.

Anyway, I'll start with that chapter by updating what is there with the new
styles, having been away for a few months remembering how to do that
properly will no doubt take me this afternoon :wink:

Otherwise on the Access2Base stuff I not do anything before tomorrow so
time then for any feedback here.

Best wishes,

Drew

Hi Drew,

standard basic library.

It's a good idea. I don't know anything about Access2Base. So I have
written only that there is such an extension.

This chapter should be written by somebody who has used Access and used
macros in Access. I have never used Access, never used MSOffice, used
only StarOffice/OpenOffice/LibreOffice under Linux. So I couldn't know
what should be the reason for the extension Access2Base.

I will translate your chapter to the German Base Handbuch later.

Robert

Hello Everybody,
I have moved chapter 6 to published folder. I have changed some structure
in the spreadsheet. Before this there was a column called Actual Return
Date. I did not understand the use of that column. The return date of
reviews are written after the respective review by column. So there was no
need of that column. I have deleted it. I have also made two columns -
"First Draft uploaded by" and "First Draft uploaded on". The checked out by
and Expected Return Date would act as common columns for First Draft, First
Review and Second Review and the information in it can be deleted
afterwards. If anyone has any questions they can ask me. This change is
only for Base Guide 6.2.
