I think I'm being misunderstood here. I've never mentioned trying to link
Base and Word - that's not something I want to do. All I originally asked
about was an incorrect display of a query in a form. This has been ignored
in the general discussion on the suitability or Base as a general-purpose
user-oriented database front-end and in its future development. I've said my
two pen'orth on that subject, as I'm certainly not competent to discuss the
politics involved. So will shut up here.
