I notice you make a lie about OO Base defaulting to a PK. The truth (which you're not acquainted with) is OO does the same thing Access does: on first table save it prompts you to create a PK but lets you say No.
Both prompt, neither default.
The difference afterwards is the OO (cr)app won't let you add records to the table via opening it up. But it will let you import them with the "wizard" (itself another ridiculous piece of code), but after that you can't delete those records? It's a mess.
But don't worry, OO Base will be taking Access' place everywhere next month.
My only point, ever, was flaky network connections can corrupt open Access tables.

Apparently you can't read. The issue isn't sharing data tables in an Access .mdb, it's the problem I described: multiple users opening the same shared Access application .mdb and updating the samem tables via the same forms.
As I said, you do not know what you're talking about. The standard method for distributing Access systems on networks is to split the data from the code layer
"The most common reason to split a database is that you are sharing the database with multiple users on a network. If you simply store the database on a network share, when your users open a form, query, macro, module, or report, these objects have to be sent across the network to each individual who uses the database. If you split the database, each user has their own copy of the forms, queries, macros, modules, and reports. Therefore, the only data that must be sent across the network is the data in the tables."
All I admit is you have no idea what you're talking about.

You don't use Access, and you know next to nothing about it, but you call my solutions - recommended by MS - stupid.
Who's really the stupid one here?
It opens Word 97 in about 6-8 seconds the first time, 4 seconds after that. OO Writer takes 12-15 seconds to open the first time, 6 seconds subsequently.
Windows wins again.
I did inadvertently lie - when I suggested you got a conscience. My mistake. It won't happen again.
