   Luck you will need. It's clumsy but does work. I did mine from a .xls 
spreadsheet. BTW if you make the mistake I did and pastethe records you 
want into a temporary .xls spreadsheet, u create yourself a huge 
headache. OO actually imports the .xls spreadsheet into a database file. 
>From that point forward it ONLY looks at the database it created. If you 
change the records in the .xls file, u must wipe out the database 
connection, database file and re-create it all again! I haven't tried 
from an ODBC connection yet as I'm still building the databases at work.

   Otherwise, it does work...
