Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base Report Builder

Hi Alex, Mark, Tom,
You guys scare me !  I'm beginning to think I'd better start looking for a
new back end. I've put a lot of work into this project. Tom, this is not a
small database like an address book. After normalizing, my design has 16
tables.( with a few more coming as I've discovered  as I feed more data
into it.) If I connect to an external server is there any way I can save my
forms and reports? Or shall I have to start anew ? My tables, queries and
views were all produced using  SQL and I have text copies of all of them to
feed any server I might select. Transfer of data becomes a problem, of
course.
