Re: [libreoffice-users] Opening all files in a folder

Hi :)
I was thinking of file-names such as "Clients-Ab-Am" ... "Clients-V-Z" or perhaps by date although 
by date ends up being a nightmare.  Alphabetical is usually easier.  

I'm not sure how smart-phones work but i imagine they have folders and sub-folders so a  sub-folder 
called "Clients" containing all these files would be easy to scroll through to find the relevant 
file quite quickly.  With some OSes If you type the first letter of the file you are looking for 
then it automatically scrolls to roughly the right area.  

Regards from
Tom :)

Thanks for the detailed instructions -- I wouldn't have thought of
some of those things until I was in the middle of it.

I also thought of doing an archive file and a current file. However,
part of the problem is that when I'm entering data from the
smartphone, it doesn't show me the tab name. I'm quite absent-minded
enough to enter the data for the wrong client, because it opens into
whatever tab I used last, and I can't see the name at the top when I'm
down in the list.

Another solution would be to put the client names = file names in
another file. It would mean an extra step when adding a new client,
but at least it would be a simple step, if I can't get the names of
all the files.
I'll have to ponder which of these ways will be the best. Yes, this
would work better in a database, but I need to be able to enter the
ledger data from my phone, and have it give me the current balance.
And I need to do calculations on the computer, but still have all the
data in the spreadsheet, available on the phone.

Thanks!
