4.) making a report based on the table from point 3.)
5.) Passing back some data from the result of query 3.) back to the form to 
adjust parameters.
May you send me some usefull internet links for that .
The normal help has to much information and it's quite difficult to find these 
really important.
I would like also to read sth about implementation of the transactions 
mechanism in Open Office.
With kind regards,

There is no real database application in OpenOffice.org. Having some database running on a server you may connect a Base document to it, so the database data are accessible and printable from office documents.

Your (MySQL/Postgre/Oracle/whatever) database can have tables and relations with referencial integrity, privileges, transactions and the full arsenal. This has nothing to do with Base. There is no transactions mechanism in Base. You can wrap a http://hsqldb.org database in a single Base file instead of connecting to a server, but this type of database does not support transactions nor multi-user access. First create your database without OpenOffice.org and then you *may* use OpenOffice.org as an optional frontend to that database. Forget the term "simple" in the context of Base. The tool itself is too simple, which makes it so difficult to build up easy to use database frontends with it.
