Re: [libreoffice-users] LO Base - Questions not answered!?

Hi :)
Base is tricky.  There are a few experts out there but it's not something that 
most people use a lot so not many people know odd tricks and common pitfalls.  
Also the documentation for it is not yet done and is not likely to be completed 
any time soon.  It's annoying but that is just the way of things at the moment.

The best documentation at the moment is Chapter 8 in the Getting Started guide
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/

I also heard of a forum or something in OpenOffice that might be worth trying to 
find.  

Apols, good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Hi Ian,
Well, I'd use something like fieldname LIKE *John*, but then I might be missing
the point.
Good luck with the other questions
