Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base record access unacceptably slow

Hi :)
I agree too but i think we have to agitate to get something done.  So far the 
only response i got was an unhelpful RMS quote.  I have a Gandhi one  "First 
they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.".  
Which means we have all 4 steps to work through but since some fairly major 
companies would benefit it might be possible to get through most of those steps 
quite fast.  


Could TDF join
http://montyprogram.com/commercial/
Would that help?

TDF is not the type of organisation where we wait to see what "they" do.  It's 
up to us to work out what we need and from who and go get it.
Regards from
Tom :)

Heinz,

I completely agree. LO without a function Base won't fly. Either TDF recognizes 
this - by DOING something - or we have our answer.
