    Base Guide

    Dan Lewis had been coordinating work on this book. It is stalled due to lack of volunteers to work on it. We have discussed combining it with the Base Handbook (see below), translated from German.

    Proposed outline for the book:

    1 Introducing Base
    2 Planning/Designing your Database
    3 Data Input & Removal: Tables
    4 Data Input & Removal: Forms
    5 Data Output: Queries
    6 Data Output: Reports
    7 Exchanging Data
    8 Customizing your Database Design
    9 More Customization
    10 Using Base at Work
    Appendix A Build the Example Database
    Appendix B Overview of a Database
    Appendix C Further Reading on Database Design
    Appendix D Editing the Base Document File

    Base Handbook

    Version 3.5-3.6 (translated from German) has been published. The English version published as v4.0 is unchanged from the earlier book.

    Some portions of the German v5.0 handbook (now superceded) have been translated from German.
