Re: [libreoffice-users] Tutorial for Base Design Forms

Hi can anybody help

Having had excellent help from [libreoffice-users]  to load a dBase file 
into Base, I cannot get started in the Create Form in Design View.

This is where you layout a single record for say printing the data into 
boxes on standard pre-printed form or as a layout to make it easier to 
add/ edit / phone just one record.

Usually (or what I am used to) is that on opening the Design form for 
the 1st time, all the Fields are automatically loaded onto the form from 
the current database, so I can then decide what shows (what to delete) 
and where on the page they go.

However, when I open the Design form in LO (3.3.3 & 3.4) it is blank and 
it has defeated me so far, as to how you load in all the field names.

The LO Design Form is a quite complex (powerful!) in any case (even 
Radio buttons), is there a tutorial  on LO Base Design Forms?

thanks
