Hi :) Thanks! :) Ahh, so it's kinda a sub-set of what i understand as "Queries"?
It's just when you view the Query in table view rather than viewing it as Sql or the nice gui way of building up filters, formulae and such. In Base i think Forms and Reports can be built in Writer, or Calc. So, people using those Forms and Reports are presented with a familiar environment and can do useful things such as simple re-arrangements and tweaks or even fork them into different layouts (err, eg using "Save As .." and give a new name) to do different things. It protects the users from unfamiliar database design tools that they could accidentally use to damage the database in all sorts of ways. Annoyingly i think Writer or Calc Reports kinda don't allow people to enter new data so proper Forms and Reports might need to be built within Base for that. Base has wizards for all sorts of things. I'm never sure whether it;s better to use wizards or avoid them.
