I wrote to you directly but it seems you don't like direct contact this 
way - sorry about that.

I have sort off given-up on trying to find an alternative to Base. Kexi 
is too "young" and still has many problems, Glom is not available on my 
OpSys, (and seems very difficult to get working on Linux in any case), 
there seems to be no GUI Front-end to MySQL that does what I need so I'm 
now looking at your idea as mentioned above.

However I need some help with this please. I've looked inside an ODB 
file and it seems very complicated so wonder if you can assist with 
details of which files to save and move to preserve my Forms, (and 
Queries??).

I would greatly appreciate any assistance with this - thanks
