Hi,

I'm sure someone will be good enough to supply an example for you that
can answer more questions that it raises.
If not I will try, since I suggested you ask for our help
that would be wonderful. I dream of a sample database that is either
installed together with the OOo software, or which can be easily
downloaded from a web site. This would ask for an HSQLDB database as a
single Base file, with some tables, queries, forms, and reports
included, as well as some records with data. Just the basics, no special
functions, so that the normal user can easily inspect the database and
learn what is possible with Base.
In the application help we can then refer to this database whenever an
example is more appropriate than an abstract syntax diagram ;-)
In the past we had a sample database installed together with StarOffice
(version 5.2 if I remember right). It was a "my movies collection" type
of database. That may lead to some copyright problems with the records,
so a more neutral topic should be chosen.
