Re: [libreoffice-users] Base Report Builder

Hi Dan,
Thanks for your quick response. I"m using LO version3.6.4.3 Build ID
:2ef5aff on a Windows 7 Pro machine. My machine's processor is an Intel
i7-2600K with 8Gig of memory and 1TB hard drive. I use periodic  backups to
another machine on my network. As for  AutoRecovery,  whenever there is a
catastrophic failure Base auitomatically tries to recover my database file
on the next start-up. Is that what you're referring to.? If not, I was
unaware that Base has such a feature.Is it similar to that used In MS Word?
 As for CHECKPOINT, I have not used that SQL command. When would it be
appropriate to use it? As for CHECKPOINT DEFRAG, when should that be used.
That might be useful as Base is getting much less responsive, seems
bloated.. The size of my database file is about 360 KB.
