There is nothing to be saved nor modified. This is just a prepared database shipped with LibreOffice. biblio.dbf contains the data. dbf files can be edited in hundreds of database programs and spreadsheet applications. biblio.odb is the database document which is connected to the biblio directory with the biblio table. This database document is registered under the name "Bibliography" so it appears in the data source window. I have never noticed the biblio.dbt file. Don't know what it is. Before you can create any kind of database, you need to know clearly what you are going to store in it. There is no magic wizard that develops the right storage for you. You've got to do this entirely on your own using the database of your choice. No, Base is not a database. It is something to work with databases in the context of this office suite. For bibliographic purposes there is also a cloud based database https://www.zotero.org/ which can be used with LibreOffice. I would simply use the existing one if it contains all the required columns and it is very easy to ignore any columns you don't need. Simply remove all rows from the biblio table, define a query with the columns you actually want to user and enter your own data into the query. Don't try to build a fully functional relational database from scratch unless you have some basic knowledge about database design which is well paid development work. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
