Hi :)
Thanks :)  So the data itself is stored inside the Base file.  There is only 1 file.  Base is not 
just the front-end connecting you to an external back-end with the data in it.  Like it would be if 
using MS Access instead of LO Base.  

It's the way i would have approached Base before reading a lot of the comments on this list that 
suggest having the data in a separate back-end is much, much better.  At the moment i am a bit 
perplexed about how to use Base but it 'should' be possible to just add an exra field,especially a 
primary key!  I'm just not sure how to do so.  I tried looking it up in the Faq
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/Base/009
but that didn't seem aprticularly helpful!  The main page of the Faq is here
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq#Base
There is an introduction to Base in the Getting Started Guide
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications
but only the 1st chapter is done for the main guide
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#LibreOffice_Base_Guide

Hopefully one of the database experts will be able to help you soon.  
Apols and regards from
Tom :)

I used the Libreoffice wizard to create the database. It's a local
file. It's an offline laptop and I don't have MySQL or PostgresSQL
running so maybe it's SQLite?  What's the process to check the
backend?

Ok,
Database File is an .odb.  Open Document Database.

Thanks for your time.
