Description Florin Coter 2019-04-09 09:51:12 UTC 
Hi,
1. I used the default (installed by OO) biblo databese that has a lot of records. All OK.
2. Opened biblio and saved as Biblio-FC on another drive. OK.
3. Registerd the new Biblio-FC. Changed the data source to Biblio-FC. Add one record. All OK.
4. Switched between the two several times. Worked on several documents. ALL OK.
5. Shut down. Next morning the biblio data base had ONLY ONE RECORD, the record from Biblio-FC. Nothing from the previous day.
6. Opened biblio. Saved as Test. Open Test. Delete the record. Close. Register in Open office.
7. Now, the two biblio and Biblio-FC data bases are empty.
8. If I add one record in only one of the databases, automatically the other two are modified accordingly.

I have several databases for several projects, each from a different computer. We had never had such problems.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
Florin.

Please note that this is not a typical problem of OpenOffice and it's not
necessarily a bug. Therefore this issue tracker is not the right place for
discussing and solving such case of problems. Please ask for help in the user
forums [1] or the users mailing list [2].

Thank you very much for your understanding.

Thank you for the answer. But, with due respect, what is exactly a "typical problem", or bug? Or it is the time to follow the trend and switch to other free Office.
Regards,
Florin.

A typical problem is, e.g., "my OpenOffice is crashing when attempting to use function A". As this is not reported regularily in other issues it's assumed as no problem based in OpenOffice for the time being.

As this is not a user help desk but an issue tracker to work on confirmed bugs or ask for new features, the first step should always be the support channels like forums or user mailings list.
