Thanks Frank,
You have repeated almost verbatim what is at the top of Chapter 7 of the
User Guide which says:
"NOTE for 2.0 dBase users: To open a connection to a dBase
database, one must select the "Connect to an existing database"
radio button and choose "dBase" from the drop-down list box.
This should work even if one never had any dBase installed on
the computer, because a basic dBase functionality is built in to
%PRODUCTNAME. However, the controls should be renamed to give a
better understanding. I would suggest "Connect to or open
another data source", and rename the first control to "Create a
new HSQLDB database". Changed this issue to be an enhancement
request for an UI change in the dialogue. "
Hopefully this and the new chapter with example database will be ready
soon which, hopefully, will enhance everyone's experience with OOoBase.
