I already mentioned I'm using Linux......MickySoft isn't allowed
here...sorry. ;) I'm using 2.0 on SUSE Linux 9.3 Pro. As I just sent out to
someone else here, I copied the database and then opened it up.....NADA.
There are no forms. I'm also getting something strange.........have to
"recover" any and all databases when I bring up OO. I've check permissions,
etc., and can't find the reason for that.
