In this tutorial we try to make you familiar with working with OOo Base. Therefore we will create a database for scheduling appointments. In detail, we will
- create tables which persistently preserve the data
- create forms to enter and edit appointments
- filter certain appointments from our data pool
- generate appointment lists using reports
Creating the Database File
- In the start center, under "Create new document", click on the button Database
- Or: in the main menu, click on File > New > Database
In the first step of the Database Wizard, activate "Create a new database" and click Next.
In the second step choose "Yes, register the database for me" and "Open the database for editing". Click on Finish.
Chose a nice database name like scheduler and an appropriate folder.
The man database window will open:
Now, we can create the database elements needed for the scheduler.
