No, my users will gain access by having Internet access. The database
is to be located on a hosting service which offers MySQL Server. I'm
thinking this is what you might mean when saying "1 single database
back-end". My users will not be updating the database. Rather they are
using it to pull reports from a database that I am updating. I plan to
author the reports which may get updated/revised/extended from time to
time and then redistributed to them in the form of new .odb files.

Hi :)
Are all the community of users on the same Local Area Network, such as a
compnay network or something? If so it might be better to have 1 single
database back-end (with all the data in it) held centrally and just send
the users the Base front-end.
Your current plan creates a duplicate set of data for each user which
they will presumably each add to independantly. Would their updates
need to be synchronised again later and then make each independant
locally held copy up-to-date with everyone's updates? If so then a
single centrally held copy of the data would avoid a lot of the syncing
trouble. It's not always possible to have a centrally held copy of course.
Regards from
Tom :)

Yes, that was something that naturally came to mind so I did try it and
it does solve the problem of the zero valued date. However, my
objective is to develop a database file (i.e., .odb) that I can send to
a community of users who may lack the technical savvy to wrestle with
prerequisite setup requirements. In this sense ODBC is a bit of a
beast. It seems to rely on something that Windows refers to as data
sources which are external to the .odb file. There are lots of options
which would make one think that it should be possible to invest in some
extra work when creating the .odb file that makes life simpler for the
technically challenged community of users. However, I wasn't able to
achieve such a result. In fact it appears as though LibreOffice Base
does not even allow the use of what Windows calls the file type of data
source.
Both ODBC and JDBC require my users to have connectors installed. I
haven't yet determined that JDBC is good enough to solve the
problem, of
having my users know about server connections, but it does look like
more of the database (i.e., MySQL server) connection specific setup is
confined to the .odb file. This is why I'd like to make JDBC work.
Insofar as zero valued dates seem to be quite natural for a MySQL
database one would think that the MySQL supplied Connector J could deal
with such more elegantly.

David,
What OS are you using? You might find an alternate connector at
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/ that will work. I would try
the ODBC connector for your OS.
