Hi :) Sorry, i hadn't noticed the version number or OS because i hadn't seen earlier posts in the thread. Also the message i was responding to seemed to be from a different person, perhaps an alternate email address. Anyway, it looks like the problem is fixed for the new branch so now it's just

1. How robust are embedded Base files created by the GUI? With an embedded database, any bug in the application (doesn't even have to crash) can corrupt your data. With a client-server database, it's essentially impossible for the client to corrupt the data. 2. If they are not that reliable,

All the database experts and many others of us keep on recommending using an external back-end such as Postgresql, MySql/MariaDb or anything else. The devs are working on removing the current warped and ancient version of HsqlDb and replacing it with Firebird. Using the embedded version of
