Lionel,<br>
<br>
I'm working on a new feature in Base again. It's
just a little user helper feature to make available
the direct import of an csv file into table, without
open Calc and copy&paste the content from it to
Base. I already have the plan to implement it and it
seems to me that it will work not just with csv
files but all Calc compatible format (in this case
only the first sheet will be imported, but later it
can be extended). I will use up the code which lies
under the OLE-object feature of Writer, which
already contains the csv import.<br>
The only question is where this feature would be
reachable. I have two ideas and I think all of these
two places should be used:<br>
1. Table view -> "Tasks". Add a 4th option
like "Import Table From File...". This point
contains all other places which are almost the
duplicates of this "Tables" list (e.g. Insert menu
with label "Table (Import)..." ).<br>
2. Table view -> "Tables" -> context menu.
The label can be "Import Table...".<br>
<br>
If you agree with these points than I send a mail to
the ux mailing list for a new icon which can be
displayed in the "Tasks" list and in the menu.<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
Tamás<br>

Pardon me for making a comment. Base can connect to a
CSV file now using the Base wizard. It seems like what you
want to do could be made part of this wizard. At least
this makes more sense to me since it is creating or
modifying a database.</blockquote>

<div>Yes, it might be the way. But I don't see where this
wizard "<span
style="font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">modifying
a database"</span>. I see only opening, creating and
connecting functionalities, but nothing about modifying.
What you mean under modifying?</div>

I appear to have gotten ahead of myself. You are right. the
wizard presently only creates a new database, opens an existing
present database, or connect to a database. It seems to me that what
you are proposing is modifying a database by adding a table to it
from a CSV file.<br>
So my suggest is to include your proposal as a four part for the
base wizard which would become create new database, open existing
database, connect to database, or modify a database by adding a CSV
file as a table.<br>
