For example, list boxes on AO and LO use different bound fields, the font size can not be changed on controls on browse controls, and reverts to a standard 9pt SEGOE, no matter what font is specified on the control dialog. I have to say that I am mystified as to the number problems I had. I've tried porting my apps to LO 4.x and the new 5.x release. These are used in medical clinical offices and each contain over 1.1 Gb in code, forms, drawings and reports. I have written several database apps using AO BASE, HSQL split DB.

Then I could copy a range of cells, select the icon in the data source browser, paste and map the source columns to their respective target columns. I would connect a Base document to that database, let's say MySQL database, and register the database document.

How exactly do you paste data from a spreadsheet to a 'siebel database'? What is the actual type of database under your 'siebel database'? Do you paste somewhere in the window of another application? Which column gets lost? Do you see the column when pasting to some other application, let's say a simple text editor? Always the first one, last one, a specific one? If you file a bug to the LO project, there is a good chance that the problem will be fixed soon. Also part of my work entails copying and pasting data from a spreadsheet to a siebel database and LO somehow loses one column of data while AOO has no problem with that.
