Re: new/CWS dba32g : configuration option to control the availability of "Create new database" option in the "Create Database" wizard

Hello Drew

Thanks for pointing the cache concept. I found how to make it work: one 
has to delete

org.openoffice.Office.DataAccess.dat

from /3/user/registry/cache in userarea

I hope deleting the dat file will only affect minor issues, as data in 
cache is supposed not to be persistent (me think...).
