Thanks! I'll probably attempt to read an openoffice database file 
created by one of the OS versions within the other. When Openoffice.org 
with the DB feature was first introduced, it was a major accomplishment 
to create a native DB. I will try again to create a db from an existing 
database on one OS and see if it will work on another OS db when created 
in a format that both should be able to handle.
