Re: [libreoffice-users] Suitability of Lo in Small organisations

     Personal opinion: LibO version 3.5.7 for Base.
     What do you know about how Base works? What is your background in 
the topic of relational databases? Each database program has its own 
method of creating and working with its databases. What are you going to 
use as a resource for learning to use Base?
     Knowing which version is the most reliable and stable is very 
important. Perhaps knowing where to find the resources to use makes the 
program much more useful.
