Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base Field Defaut Disables Save

Thanks for the advice.  By "mixed-mode" you mean the use of HSQLDB front end with MySQL (or other) 
backend?

I've been trying to read what documentation there is.  Not much.  I find that as soon as I get 
beyond what I already understand, there is a presumption that I that I have a working knowledge of 
SQL, which I don't.  

So, since my goal is multi-user database, for which I now see that I need MySQL anyway, I figure I 
should turn to learning MySQL. 

Cheers,
             tod
