 |
|
| Hi, am a potential new user of Base. Like with the MS Office suite, where Access can be run standalone without loading the WP & Spreadsheet, can one just run 'Base' as a standalone ? Thanks |

Simple answer: no.
Complex answer: if OOo is installed, you can show a form only, w/o having a BASE document to load / show. But OOo has to be installed !

OK, so the complete OpenOffice suite needs to be installed - but once done, can just 'Base' be run, to either design a db, or to access a db, or does the complete Suite - including the WP & Spreadsheet need to be running even though I am only using Base ? |

OOo has a modular design.
If you don't open a Writer or Calc document - these parts of coding are not loaded into memory.
This answers your question?
But. why do you care

Yes thanks. I don't have a powerful machine, so less resource hog the better. |
