Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base documentation - or the lack of it

Hi :)

I used Access quite a lot and Base seems quite similar.  Once you have grasped 
the fundamentals and if you are already familiar with spreadsheets then that 
makes Base quite easy to understand.

There are a few places that do offer training specifically in Base although they 
seem reluctant to mention LibreOffice preferring OpenOffice as the 'more 
professional'

[1] - http://documentation.openoffice.org/tutorials/index.html
[2] - http://www.tutorialsforopenoffice.org/
[3] - http://www.learnopenoffice.org/
[4] - http://inpics.net/

The inpics website seems dead now and their "Contact Us" page is a dead-end 
going to email addresses that don't exist anymore.  


Regards from
Tom :)

that's quite easy - none of the writers has a lot of experience with Base.
Certainly, I don't have any kind of experience with databases at all. So I
can't write anything about this topic. And I guess, that others feel
similar.

There was a tutorial mainly written by Mariano Casanova, I'm not sure, where
this has ended up.
