Hi :)
It looks like most of this can be done without touching Base itself? Is LO
able to use databases in this way already? Is it something that could be
passed to the devs list an/or the BoD discussion list? Something like this
could be phrased to capture the imagination, Saying it's the old way might put
them off.

I use to use Base like this. I connect a Base document to HSQL 2.8
databases with forms and reports on the desktop (spreadsheet reports are
sufficient for us). The Base container is nothing but a configuration
file storing the connection URL, SQL query strings and the default
log-in (and I left some rarely used admin forms in it).
My users do not know anything about the database document.
The content of the database document could be some XML and query strings
in the configuration tree (just like it used to be in OOo 1).
