Description gld199 2008-08-24 10:51:21 UTC
Start at the database wizard (e.g. open OOBase from the start menu).

Under "What do you want to do?" select "open an existing database file".

---

Scenario 1: the file I want to open is in the "recently used" drop down box

The way I expect this to work is as follows:
select a file from the drop down box
click "open"
file opens

What actually happens when I click "open":
I get a dialogue to let me browse to a different file of my choice

What I am supposed to do:
select a file from the drop down box
click "finish"

Scenario 2: the file I want to open is NOT in the "recently used" drop down box

I was totally confused as I could not see how to browse to an existing file
which wasn't in the drop down box. I closed OOBase and used Windows to find the
file then opened it myself.

What I am supposed to do is click "open" right underneath the drop down box
showing a file name that I do not want to open, then browse to the desired file.

----

Could you rename the "open" button to something clearer like "find" or "browse".
