Base subform - can't adjust table control

English

#1

In LO 5.0.4.2 /Win 10 English:
I have created a form and added a subform through the Form Navigator. The only element in the subform is a table control. However I can’t adjust the columns - rename them, adjust widths, replace by list boxes etc. While editing the form I can select the entire table, but I can’t select the column headings - it just selects the entire table.

The funny thing is that when I save and open the form I can enter data into the columns, and even adjust the widths. But going back to edit the form I still can’t access or adjust the columns.

Any ideas?

How to change subforms in LibreOffice 5?
How to set field controls in a "data sheet" style form?

This could now be closed, thanks (but not as “Not relevant or outdated”, please! Perhaps as “Resolved - LO bug, fixed in later version” :slight_smile: )

In the Table Control you need to right click on a column headings to select a column.

Thank you for that suggestion, but even when I right click on the column heading it just selects the entire Table Control displays the standard shortcut menu (options from “Cut” through to “Group”).

It’s a bug affecting LO 5.0.4.2 - see HERE.

OK, I have now read the bug report (96482) and understand the problem. Thank you, frofa.
What i don’t quite understand (being a newie) is whether I can update to 5.1.0.2, which seems to solve the problem, and if so, how I do it. Can anybody please help me?

#7

Doesn’t look as though anybody reads and answers questions posed in a comment, so I’ll ask it as a new question.

#8

Just go to the LibreOffice Download page and (at the bottom) click on version 5.1 to download. It’s a pre-release at the moment. NOTE: I decided to back-grade to version 5.0.3 to address the problem.

#9

OK, thanks, I’ll try 5.1.0.3. I don’t want to backgrade because I was getting the flicker-and-hang problem described in 96482 before I upgraded to 5.0.4.2.
