Base can be used cross-platform providing you keep it simple, e.g. : - filenames and filename paths should be made cross-platform compatible, i.e. don't name your ODB file or your tables, queries, reports, etc, with weird and wonderful characters that might be supported on one OS and not the other ; if possible, stick to ASCII 127; - don't rely on file path separators to be correctly interpreted if you store object references in your database (e.g. images, video, sounds and other binary objects) ; - if you do store references to binary objects in your db, use relative references, and ensure that your target host has the same directory setup ; - beware of potential localisation and cross-platform issues especially with regard to your choice of data types. - save your Forms outside of the Base container, i.e. when the form is open, click on "Save as" and save it to a different location. You can then provide the forms saved in this way independently of the ODB file. In the past, there have also been known (as in mailing list discussion and possibly OOo bugtracker) problems with user configuration files getting either overwritten or not correctly updated, and with some kind of cache issue preventing user configurations from working properly when trying to use an ODB file produced on another machine. These appear to unfortunately be rather random, and so difficult to pinpoint, but when they do occur can be really frustrating.
