In this chapter, I introduced you to the basics of using OpenOffice.org Base and showed you how to use the database tables in a word processing document. Obviously, this is just the beginning. Using Base, you can create custom forms for data entry. Wizards make this easy but there is a manual forms creator as well. Simple or complex custom reports are also easily generated using the Report Wizard. You can perform queries, connect to external databases, build indexes, and more. OpenOffice.org Base provides useful database access tools for users at every level. |
