Fozz 0 #1 December 1, 2008 ...skydiving calculations spreadsheet or a .odb type logbook? I'd like to build a logbook/database (using open office base)((www.openoffice.org is FREE and GREAT)) but I don't know how and was hoping someone would have something I could learn from and copy or otherwise butcher to my own ends. What I'd like to create is a logbook / database the is selectable for type of jump and auto calculates free fall time,totals and records all info including cost /income in a fun very user friendly way A friend gave me an MS access logbook but I don't have MS Acess and avoid MS for open source when ever possible.

Fozz 0 #3 December 1, 2008 Hey Alex I'm aiming at using Open Office and trying NOT to reinvent the wheel and yet still have a fairly custom sheet that is real useful for all possible skydiving calculations and logging Open office can read and run Excel very well so send on what you have and I'll see what I can use /figure out John Fosgate "In the end, its always best to choose the hard right over the easy wrong."
