Ah but.....it seems to be not so simple...:-J
After setting the method to JDBC with the option autoReconnect=true, it
becomes not possible to edit the existing fields of the table. A new
field could be added, but the existing ones cannot be changed.

So I have to return to the MySQL(JDBC) option. However, it accepts
adding ?autoReconnect=true behind the database name AND the addition of
new fields is transferred to the forms function immediately.

In other words, the problem is solved, by adding the option           
?autoReconnect=true behind the database name in every case.

Is that documented somewhere?

Many thanks again

Cheers
Harvey
