Dear Frank:

> Now you come and ask for the opposite.

Congratulations!  I considered this conflict in user requirements as a sign of 
OO Base success.
OO Base at its current stage probably has attracted attention from users who 
likely operate in
medium size business environment (dept., division, small companies, etc.).  
These business
users have needs not well aligned with those of individual and personal 
applications.

The design and implementation for linked tables might not be as trivial as one 
initially estimated.
It involves GUI, API for script access, access permission control, table 
relationship access, etc.
Somewhere some tradeoff decision has to be made between the potentially 
conflicting needs of
diverse backgrounds of potential users (personal, small business, and in the 
future, the enterprise).
It is an art in leading product evolution and still maintain its 
competitiveness for all prospective clients.

This feature of "linked tables" may require much design deliberation even for 
OO Base GUI linking to
OO Base embedded HSQLDB.

I shall submit additional problems found in my test of OO Base in another 
message.

Thanks for all the good effort in past on OO Base.

Ray
