A freind of mine is an archaeologist and pointed me to a lot of free
data from a long term excavation and it comes in the form of CSV files
and some pdf docs that describe the structure of the real DB and I
thought I might just have a play with them in LibreOffice Base. OK so
you cant read a CSV file in to a table, so I think I'll write macro to
do it and use a dialog to read in the file location, extract the column
titles from the first line and do some scanning to ascertain the column
type etc etc.
OK so I cant find a filefinder dialog to get me to the file and all the
online help points nowhere! I'm not sure anyone else has ever used Base
in anger as I can find no useful documentation on the LO site. Have any
of you got any links to LibreOffice stuff that might help me? I'm on LTS
Xubuntu 18.03 and Libre Office Version: 6.0.7.3. I have a mind to keep
kicking this until I can do stuff on Base I could do in access 35 years ago!
