Thanks for the advice.  By "mixed-mode" you mean the use of HSQLDB front end with MySQL (or other) 
backend?

I've been trying to read what documentation there is.  Not much.  I find that as soon as I get 
beyond what I already understand, there is a presumption that I that I have a working knowledge of 
SQL, which I don't.  

So, since my goal is multi-user database, for which I now see that I need MySQL anyway, I figure I 
should turn to learning MySQL. 

Cheers,
             tod

Hi Tod,



I would very much like to use Base, but I'm at the edge of having sufficient knowledge to make 
it work.  It appears that in order to make Base work for me, I will have to study MySQL and use 
it as my backend, with base as a front end.



Well, it isn't an absolute requirement to use a db server to get
something useful out of Base, but if you want to carry on using HSQLDB
(as provided by LibO or in its latest version incarnation of 2.0), then
I would strongly advise you to read the tutorials on the OpenOffice.org
forum about setting up mixed-mode functionality. At present, even using
mysql has its quirks/problems when working from within LibO/OOo, but so
far, with my own use of mysql, the only things I've managed to kill in
the past have been my ODB files (most notably forms) and not my data.


Alex
