btw, it should work with LO, gnumeric etc... On 18 August 2014 18:05, P. . <wave.root@gmail.com> wrote:
yes, but python in gnumeric seems to be easier, at least i found it to.

About half of my macros are in Python. A couple of years ago when I was looking for an alternative to LO because UNO is so complex, I looked at Gnumeric. At that time Python support seemed to be poorly documented and somehow incomplete. Has it gotten any better? Regards, JimI've found convenient to install LO from the official release instead of the deb of ubuntu. I have ubuntu maverick 10.10 with LO Version: 4.2.1.1 Build ID: d7dbbd7842e6a58b0f521599204e827654e1fb8b, installed in a very straightforward way besides ubuntu 14.04.

Many companies pay devs, either in-house or as external consultants, to work on LibreOffice. It's more cost-effective (and much cheaper) than paying for licenses for a product which may never deal with their pet-issues. SuSE seemed to have more devs working on LibreOffice than most other companies. So my guess is that Collabora are probably about the best professional support it's possible to get for LIbreOffice! If you need professional support for a wider move to FOSS then you might get that from one of the other companies listed, for example Canonical or Redhat (there is also the "Free Software Foundation", but i have no way of knowing or guessing which is best for your specific case.

August 2014 23:47:A couple of questions: (1) Has anyone here used it and does it make writing macros for Base easier?I looked at the examples a few weeks ago, and it seemed to me as a clearer approach to database programming as the UNO-way. IMHO it is not only useful for migrations from Access, but for more serious db-projects. I do not know anything about MS-Access-Programming, I did some old-style DBase/FoxPro-Development some years ago and I didn't feel well with this UNO-thing up to now. Obviosly it is a great API, but that huge that it becomes a labyrinth to me.I agree, it looks much cleaner. Every time I try to work with UNO, I think what an overly complex way to accomplish what is sometimes a fairly simple task. The only thing wrong with Acess2Base is that I do all my work with Calc. That's why I was wondering if there was going to be a Excel2Calc version. After Access2Base was incorporated in LO from 4.2 on, it is a promise toimprove things and it might become real, if it would be featured as the standard way of programming LO Base and if gets broader acceptance. At this time I can't estimate, wether I can rely on this tool for long- term projects. And there is yet a lack of documentation, tutorials for end-users. Fortunately there are more discussions about Base in general in the last months here. I wonder why this topic came up so "late"...I would guess that, probably because of UNO, not that many people are writing macros.
