Re: [libreoffice-users] Import data from spreadsheet to base

Thanks, Don, this isn't my day.

I can see no way to save my calc as a database under Save as.  I can find no import option in base. 
 And copying the entire sheet and pasting to the first field on a form doesn't work.

Another thing:  the column names in the base table are not in exact conformance with the column 
names in the calc sheet.  The one is in English, for example, the other in Swedish, and I was 
hoping for a procedure to assign field names in the one to field names in the other.
