Betta,

That is the way the embedded db works in Base.
Download and install Postgresql
(http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/download/mirrors-ftp?file=%2Fbinary%2Fv8.2.4%2Fwin32%2Fpostgresql-8.2.4-1.zip)
on your computer as a backend db and use Base as the front end for
Forms, Queries, Reports. Every time you post a record it is saved to
the database.
You will need to download the driver from:
http://dba.openoffice.org/drivers/postgresql/index.html
You will have to convert your existing data to csv file to import into
postgresql. This isn't hard but you may have to tweak the file with
Writer. Ask questions or figure it out. :)
The reasons for postgresql are:
It is open source and free
Powerful
Your data is safer
You have more options later, like use a web based front end.
It will do more and uses standard sql.

I'm a poor database user but I want to create a database and happens
that I often create errors in OO odb and the sistem restarts. For
this reason I save tables and forms or queries, but this is not
enought: if I don't save the whole database I loose newly introduced
datas.
How I can manage this problem? There is an autosave function? I just
spent the afternoon introducing new data and now I've to start
again...
I hope you can help me to find a solution.

P.S. I have OO2.2.1 on MSWindXP v5.1,Sp2
