Hey Jean,
That's great news. Now if only someone could write a useful book on
getting Libreoffice BASE to do anything but lock up and die. I've tried
several times to make a simple recipe DB, first with an external MySQL
back end, then with it's own internal files.
No one has been able to produce a working copy of a BASE project that I
can download and examine and/or use as a template to develop my own.
I've asked for that several times with no response. The BASE handbook
is a great primer on basic DB design concepts but practically useless
when I comes to actually building a working DB using BASE.
Please don't take my comment as disparaging the fine work that the
Libreoffice team has done. I love Libreoffice and I install it on all
my friends machines when given the opportunity. I'm just very
disappointed with BASE.
