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.

As I mentioned in my answer to Tom, if you use an external version of
hsqldb, it can only be the same version number as the internal version
provided with LO, else the old ODB files can no longer be opened. In
other words, you can not install an external hsqldb jar and expect your
old ODB(hsqldb) files to keep working, as this will throw an error.
So yes, it still remains a possibility, but one that you may want to
avoid if you still have old ODB files that use the internal hsqldb with
an older revision number than the externa jar you plug into LO.
