Hi :) Lol.  Cor appears to be accusing me of being wrong but with no
proof to support the accusation.  The only link he did give appears
to bolster my assertions.  It appears to show a lot of work going
into Calc and the other apps but none into Base.  Of course it is
pure geek and difficult to understand but the few i clicked seemed to
mention something about Calc and one mentioned wizards.  None
mentioned Base.

The other accusation Cor appears to make is that i have not provided
the type of proof he wants, which is a bit hypocritical imo as there
is no proof that my assertions were inaccurate or misleading at all.

He provided you with a link to query the work being done in LO on Base:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/
Enter 'dbaccess in the search window & you'll see the dev work on Base.
That results in:
<http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/?qt=grep&q=dbaccess>

Another is:
<http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/connectivity>

I'm not sure what others may be involved, but it is clear that there is
development work on Base in LO.

I do know 1 person that has been trying to work on Base and a few
people tell me there is another one but the work is not easy.

And that person is? It seems to me that there are several people working
on Base.

Disclaimer: I've just learned about
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/ as well and am still
working my way through it. However your continued FUD regarding Base &
advising new users on this list to stick to Access et al seems to be
just that: FUD. Before you continue posting the like, how about actually
trying to find out the facts?


None of this is relevant to the original question and i think the
time would be better spent helping people rather than wasting
everyone else's time with this sort of nonsense so publicly.  It is
possible to send emails to individuals off-list if you think they are
wrong in some way. Regards from Tom :)

Actually time would be better spent assisting the user with Base rather
than making such statments as: "I would stay with Access for now.  There
is almost no-one working on Base so it's gradually getting worse as
regressions slip in." and "It's just that almost everyone avoids Base.
While Writer and Cal and the rest attract a LOT of devs they just avoid
Base.". If you can't back up those statements with fact, then they are
better left unsaid.

Hi :( If you are familiar with those tools then i am sure you could
find an answer faster.

Irrelevant. *You* make the statements - lots of well reading
sentences that seem to make sense but may as well be tendentious or
misleading.

So if you do not give a solid ground to your statements, or even want
to make real effort in trying to do so, then please stop making
them.
