Re: [libreoffice-users] Copying data from Calc to Base...

Hello Zed,

I haven't used 6.4 much yet except with already existing databases. With
6.0 (on Ubuntu) it was required that there be an auto incrementing index
field or the import would fail with messages like you describe.

If your ID field is not set to auto increment modify the field property so
it auto increments then try the import again.
