He provided you with a link to query the work being done in LO on Base: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/ Enter 'dbaccess in the search window & you'll see the dev work on Base. That results in: <http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/?qt=grep&q=dbaccess> Another is: <http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/connectivity> I'm not sure what others may be involved, but it is clear that there is development work on Base in LO. > I do know 1 person that has been trying to work on Base and a few > people tell me there is another one but the work is not easy. And that person is? It seems to me that there are several people working on Base. Disclaimer: I've just learned about http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/ as well and am still working my way through it. However your continued FUD regarding Base & advising new users on this list to stick to Access et al seems to be just that: FUD.

Regards from Tom :) Actually time would be better spent assisting the user with Base rather than making such statments as: "I would stay with Access for now. There is almost no-one working on Base so it's gradually getting worse as regressions slip in." and "It's just that almost everyone avoids Base. While Writer and Cal and the rest attract a LOT of devs they just avoid Base.". If you can't back up those statements with fact, then they are better left unsaid.
