I don't get it, either... but I haven't read much in this thread.

Depends on the data and the interface.  There's no one-size-fits-all

Now you're talking about listboxes instead of comboboxes, but what you
just described can be accomplished well with either.

I much prefer listboxes if you have enough screen space.  You put the
listboxes across the top (say the top third or fourth of the screen),
and the result set in the bottom.  Listboxes usually require less
clicking and scrolling than comboboxes.

There are differing definitions for what constitutes a combobox.
But I just can't see a case where a multi-column box is preferrable
to multiple single-column boxes.  A selection is still going to key
on just one column (the bound column, right?), and with a single-column
box, what you are actually selecting is more obvious.

I'd guess it could clear up some ambiguity of what you're 
selecting in certain cases.

So?  Who the fuck cares?  Only a supreme asshole or a
brain-dead corporate lackey would care -- and the two
cases are actually the same.

Furthermore, the description of being "very important"
is also highly subjective and coming from a brain-dead
corporate lackey like YOU it is easily dismissed as
nonsense.

The INTELLIGENT user will make do with whatever is available
in a highly creative manner.  The brain-dead corporate lackey
-- and that's YOU -- will only invoke meaningless and
useless comparisons.

American corporations CANNOT compete globally and that
sad fact is largely due to the brain-dead lackey that
is exemplified by YOU.  After WWII, American industry
was the only game in town but when the former war-torn
nations began to rebuild the American corporations were
faced with a force that they, and their brain-dead lackey
staffers, could not withstand.

Combo Box!  Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!  Only Tiffany, the brain-dead
secretary, or Kimberly, the brain-dead VP, would ever be impressed
-- and the American corp is chock full of such imbecilic lackeys.

But let's check out some of your accusations:

The fuck if it can't.  I just did it and it works very well.
The subsequent "paste" operations allows for many options
including field selection.

So the lackey is full of shit, as usual.

Wrong again, lackey.

There is no Writer component.  The form object belongs to ALL
components and that's EXACTLY how it should be.

You are just a stupid one-trick pony.  All you've ever accomplished
is Microshit Access and as a consequence you believe, falsely, that
Access is some sort of standard.

Well, the world says: "Fuck you, lackey!  We do things OUR way."

Who the fuck would ever want or need conditional formatting?
Just make up your mind and get on with it, asshole.

But here is what the lackey stooge is after:

If user = "Brain-Dead Tiffany" Then
Button = Sparkly Blue
Else
If user = "Brain-Dead Kimberly" Then
Combobox = "Pretty Yellow"
Else
If user = "Dumb-Fuck Stooge" Then
Load Asshole-Dummy Theme

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

I could go on and on and on and on but regarding the
dumb-fuck lackey stooge it would be all just more of
the same.

Oh, so you have carefully interviewed every person in the world

My advice is simple and ultimately effective:

If reports "must" be generated then enlist/hire someone who

The case is closed.

Nah, I just applied the common sense idea that avoids

Right, don't let software solve that if it can, you know,

Yes, you're a hypocrite... you crow about software

Don't take it so hard.  You won't be doing real dev with LibreOffice 
anyway, so you won't run into these very important issues.

Your lame-ass 'doc mgmt/payroll' system will have one form and one 
button that runs a stupid, inflexible shell script, which you'll force 
the employer to pay you to update each year because you're too 
incompetent to make an easy to use LO system that will last some years.



> The INTELLIGENT user will make do with whatever is available

Sorry, idiot, but one CANNOT overcome most of the built-in LibreOffice 
shitware limitations.  Some people - but not you - could probably hack a 
solution to some of the issues I listed (which, being a puss, you 
snipped), but they will be half-ass hacks.

There's this:  C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\program\swriter.exe

If Base isn't using Writer for a form designer, they did a good job 
cloning it and using a subset of icons and menus.

https://imgur.com/a/LFf09vO

How bad is it, you ask?  It's so bad the database "form designer" has a 
menu option for "Chapter Numbering".  They apparently forgot to remove it.



> The form object belongs to ALL
> components and that's EXACTLY how it should be.

You don't know what you're talking about.  There is no "form object" 
(you meant form designer?) for anything except Base.  And Base forms go 
with the .odb they were created in.

And the more I test that crap the worse it gets.

Drop a label on the "form" and try to enter text directly into it.  You 
can't.  You have to open the control Properties dialog and enter the 
text in the Label field of the Properties.  And even though the "form 
designer" shows icons for left/center/right align, they're disabled when 
the label control has focus and you can't use them to align the text in 
the label.  You have to go back to the Properties dialog and align the 
text from there.

It gets even more fucked up.  I set the label font to 16 bold and it 
worked, but it won't allow me to set the font color.  It just stays gray.

Every single company in the world.

How do you think you highlight negative results in red?

With Access you set the form view to continuous and add a little code 
(and you can even let the user change the colors at runtime, for that 
extra oomph the boss didn't ask for, but takes you no time to add).

With LeeberOffice you throw up your hands, tell your boss it can't be 
done, and skulk away defeated by undedicated MS-hating hobbyists who 
can't nearly keep up with MS developers.

Even if true, doesn't need to.  It needs to be a competitive value,
and it is.  

Only a small percentage of users, in this, or any, market, are going
to find the best value in the "high end" product.

Most people don't use 95% of the features in a word processor. With email 
and social media it's probably getting to the point where 90% of the people 
don't use a word processor at all. Just another area where Microsoft's 
monopoly is becoming less and less relevant.

Microsoft gave Windows 10 away for free.
Granted it was time limited so get it before it's gone.

They gave a free upgrade to Win7/8/8.1 licensees.  So you had to have 
already paid.

Liar.  There is lots of free software, besides GNU/Linux.  

Why aren't you whining about, say, Notepad++, you hypocrite?  Oh,
that's right, because there is no competing Micro$oft product.

Neither is Free software "unfair".  FOSS is an extremely efficient new
paradigm, and this efficiency allows new business models.  Everything
from the "donation" model, to the "advertizing" model, are
facilitated.

As with any other paradigm shift, companies must adapt.  Only shitty,
pathetic losers, like Dumfsck, whine that "the old ways" are no longer
competitive, in some markets.

There are still plenty of market opportunities for closed-source
software.  Generally speaking, cutting-edge, or specialized, software
lends itself to the closed-source model.  Word processors and Web
browsers, on the other hand, do not.

>>>> If someone walked into your workplace and offered to do your job for
>>>> free you'd scream bloody murder.

But no one will, because it does not make sense for anyone to do so.
Likewise, it would make no sense to contribute to FOSS, unless
something is gotten in return.

For the 8 billionth time, FOSS is not about working for free, you dumb
fscking arsehole.  People (and companies) give, but they also get.

While there is some "charity" in the world, rational people generally
want something in return, for any significant investment.  The FOSS
community is rational.  Many for-profit companies, including
Micro$oft, participate and contribute.

I ran it for a day or two, not long after it was released. Underwhelmed. 
  Didn't like the start menu.  Plus the hassles of minimizing forced 
updates and telemetry.  And I don't want to give MS one red cent if I 
can help it.

But I'll eventually head that way.  I have an old Win8 license key, but 
I think it's for the 32-bit version and I'm not sure I can use it to 
upgrade to Win10 x64.  The free upgrade supposedly passed a while back, 
but I've read about people successfully using it recently.

Fabian's job, apparently, is to whine endlessly. I hate to break it to
you but most people do his job for free.
