Hi Bashar, > In the second screen of the base wizard you get asked whether you want to > "register" the database in OOo. > What exactly does "registering the database" mean?
See Tools / Options / OpenOffice.org Base / Databases You can register .odb files under a shortname. The other applications then access the database by this shortname only, instead of referring to the complete URL. In fact, for instance for mail merge, Writer requires a shortname (though it silently creates one for you if you just select the .odb).
