Description nostabo 2006-03-29 04:29:36 UTC 
When entering a URL into Calc's External Data dialog nothing happens (the tables
are not listed in the "Available Tables/Ranges" listbox) until you press the
Enter key. The only buttons that are active are the Help and Cancel
buttons...the OK button is greyed out, so pressing the Enter key is not
intuitive, nor is it a suggested action by the Help docs.

I just guessed at pressing the Enter key after waiting for the list to appear. I
have read (on the OOoForums)that this is due to a slow connection...I've waited
10 minutes on a fast cable connection (1.5Mbps) for anything to happen!

Try these URLs:
