Thank you very much Miguel.  The reference you gave was *much*
better than the help provided by my pressing the Help button
in calc.

Following the instructions in the reference you gave, I was able to
copy the database data to calc.  Then I tried OLE linking from calc to
the database.  It appeared to work in calc.  Then I changed the
database, expecting the changes to be propagated to calc; however, the
libreoffice just closed (both calc and base and the writer which I was
using to read the LibreOffice_Calc_Guide you gave).  When I attempted
to reopen the Writer doc, it worked.  I closed the Writer doc and
attempted to open the calc document.  Both CPU's kept jumping up and
down (high of 100% or around there) and memory use gradually rose to
89% before LibreOffice again stopped.

Have you any suggestion about how to recover the data
(it was a toy example; so, no big deal if I can't
recover) and how to avoid this problem in the future?

BTW, my OS and LibreOffice version were given in my OP.


-regards,
Larry
