Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base questions

Before I begin, I will plead ignorance of how these things really happen.

It appears that what should be happening is that the database should 
always be external, but whether it is placed inside the same folder.

To the user, the interpretation of 'internal' would be that it is within 
it's own folder and 'external' would be that the actual database is 
somewhere else during set-up.

In this way, the database (I assume) could easily be copied and 
re-attached either 'internally' or 'externally'.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks
Paul
