Libre Office Base - Design Mode

Thanks Robert. I did that. Unfortunately ‘Design Mode’ in the form menu is sometimes greyed out. Right now, it’s not. But next time it happens, I’ll try your trick.

Base is not a database, it’s a database manager. Base is very primitive, essentially it has no table or query functionality except for the user interface to the database tables and storing sql (and a little layout for tables too). This is different to MS-Access which has the same customisable grid layout for queries as it does for tables. There is no interest in fixing Base bugs and absolutely no interest in enhancing any functionality.
