I think the (incorrect) definition that is being used is whether LO manipulates files directly or talks to a database engine.
I don't think there is a dBase or FoxBase engine. I'm pretty sure there is a Visual FoxPro engine (John doesn't mention VFP, whyzatt then? ;) ), however it'll be a Windoze only thing I expect. So, to answer the original question, LO is calling dBase files flat because it can't access a database engine for them and it won't do any engine work itself. A flat database? Errr, can't think of one, although I know there have been such things. You only had to ask ;) Regards Mark Stanton -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
