Hi. New to Libre, coming from OpenOffice and Office. Question about Base. Also challenge in OpenOffice. I think not a problem in Microsoft Office??
Scenario: Lets say I am a business owner. I have a lot of workers, doing different tasks. I need to walk around every day recording different information about every worker. Name, worktask, progress an so forth.
To record all this, I have made a Table in Base, and then made a Form that allows me to enter data into the Table via the Form. No big deal, right? The problem is that I have to sit in my office (or carry my laptop arround) to be able to use the Form. Right?? I would much rather be able to carry a smaller gadget, like a tablet or a smarphone arround, with access to the database wia my Wi-Fi, or oppdate when back in the office, and insert all the information here while walking arround. Am I correct assuming this can not be done in LibreOfice? I have installed MS Office on my smartphone (Android), so I think it is possible to open a MS Base file on this, hence giving me what I want. Even if I would be able to open a LibreOffice (or OpenOffice) database file in MS Office on my phone, I will only be able to read it, not do anything with it. Then I will have to pay, but then I could just as well use MS all the way. I would appreciate some feedback from the community about this.
