Hello list, me too would like to have a reconnect: When LO-Base the first connection to a dBase database (directory) has made, all the existing *.dbf files in that directory are recognized and shown as tables in *.odb. However, if you add manually or by a third party program another *.dbf, it

Hello, Thanks for the quick replies. Some points... Disconnecting/Reconnecting the MySQL server from LO-DB is not really a work-around. Essentially confirming the displayed message mentioned (i.e. "The last package sent to the server...") with just one click is in my opinion more efficient, althou
