Hi again, I'm still working on the paradox file save support which is mostly ready execpt for a rather general problem concerning cell types available in the export format but not in gnumeric. This maybe relevant for other formats as well (e.g. xbase). Let me make an example. Paradox has 3 different field types to save a date/time. One for dates only, one for times only and one for both. gnumeric isn't actually aware of time/date at all. It's a just floating point number. Now, I wonder if there is any way to tell if a certain cell is actually a date or time? I suppose there isn't. In that case, I would like to discuss a way to keep the original field format in the first line of the sheet, just as alreayd done wtth name. A 30 character string field with the name 'column1' would e.g. result in 'column1,C,30'. I'm not sure, but I think this is the way openoffice does it for xbase files. Any comments.
