I feel that the validation tool is just well named: the problem is 
rather that it can make so many different things that it is diffucuilt 
if non impossible to find a "better" name!
My problem was rather the opposite: I always considered that the "Data" 
menu contained almost only tools for... "databases" (or at least data 
sources, including reformating of CSV data...
That was partly why I didn't understand why "Controls" were made for 
databases, and why I had to avoid "controls" in the first place. My 
first think was rather the opposite: use the controls for simple tasks 
on calc sheets, and use "Data menu" items for "databases". This was 
sustained by the fact that most of the "Data" tools just ask you to 
connect to a database!
May be it should be the control tools which should be renamed (or just 
suppressed as some people suggested) ?

Jean-Louis
