Description dlanderson 2005-10-14 05:41:17 UTC 
OOo 2.0 RC2 - Base:
1) From an existing or new database (Database2), there is no apparent way to
connect to a table or tables in another existing database (e.g., Database1) such
as Calc spreadsheet
2) Can connect to Database1 and then copy table to Database2, but the link to
the spreadsheet is broken (see Issue #55188)
3) Cannot edit copied table in Database2 (see Issue #55252)
Note: New issue (1) and other two issues mean that there is no way to directly
access or use data in external databases (e.g., Calc spreadsheet)
