I got Base working from a MySQL server, but not its native database. Working from the MySQL server makes db/table creation fast and easy, but my install (Fedora 4-test-3) fails horribly and dies whenever I try to create a form or report.
I'm going to upgrade to FC4 tonight, then use Base to cook up a DB. I'll let you know how it goes. Is there something specific I can do? More importantly, can I collect a code bounty for it through the Summer of Code program? As I am a student, that would be swell. -Doug On 6/5/05, CPHennessy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wednesday 25 May 2005 18:22, + Doug Hernandez wrote: > > [ MODERATED ] *********************** > > G'day. > > > > I've been b-doinking with Base for a week now, installing it on Fedora > > Core 4t2 and WinXP both.
