Also, I have not figured out yet how to get the report processing all my records without some form of programming/scripting. I have no experience from using this type of software. Though Knoda is a clever bit of software, it seems not to be designed for the end user needing a way of presenting av report from her/his data in a reasonable easy way.
Another problem is that Knoda has no backup facility. I resorted to mysqldump, and got an empty .sql file. As usual: dirt in dirt out, no error message. Knoda had placed my database etc. in directory hk-classes under my home directory. So to move the database to another PC I hopefully get everything I need by copying the hk-classes directory with subdirectories on to an usb stick to install on the other PC. That should not be the way of doing it I think.

On the odd occasion that I queried it with Hans Knoda it was all due to my dyslexia. After being admonished more than once I began to realise how complete it is and how it says so much with so few words. <<I think that indicates it was written by an engineer for people who are similar minded! This is not always the best style for newbs and less experienced software people. :~)>> Like most other people on this list I am looking for an alternative programme. I like the ability to add pictures to your forms and the whole concept of generating forms on a clean sheet of paper without any 'factory made' boxes. Whilst Access may be functional it is inhuman, Open Office Base needs code before it will do all of the tricks that Knoda will do. <<I tried kexi as well as OO Base and found them poor compared to knoda which was *relatively* easy to pick up. (OO Base is abysmal.) I wouldn't use anything Microsoft wrote even if you paid me. ;~)I am lead to believe kexi has really improved. the last time I looked, there was nothing in my KDE4 repository, and it was still very much in beta which is why I knocked up my own system. It's a lot easier to do a custom one than a generic version it would seem!BTW, I wrote: "Right click on the section and then on the ... button to the right of the datasources combo." I did, of course, mean left click.
