Well, question how often people really do this - accumulated over all users and all use cases, expressed as percentage of their overall work. Out of my head, I could imagine a high number of nice, convenient, useful features which might fit the one or other purpose. I just fear we will never convince enough developers to work on all of them, so we need to prioritize. And the above feature, in my opinion, isn't needed *too* often (though I completely accept its usefulness), so I personally would not prioritize it very high. > Frank> What type do you see in "Edit|Database|Connection Type"? > Frank> "MySQL" or "ODBC"?

Usually, it's not really a problem of the UI of OOo, but of the locale - which often are the same, but don't have to be. This way, you don't necessarily need to install an english version.
