Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Where is Base?

Hi :)
Yeh, in attempting to clarify i did add an extra confusion!  Sorry!  The
HsqlDb version 1.8 is only a problem when using the internal version in
Base.  However Base doesn't give you much choice about what to use as the
internal back-end.  Just the heavily tweaked and broken version of 1.8.
Regards from
Tom :)
