Betta, > Why if I don't save database I loose datas in saved table? 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. Tim Betta wrote: > 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.
