<p class="Paragraph">To make changes in a database used by more than one person, you have to have the appropriate access rights. When you edit an external database, there is no intermediate storage by <help:productname xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help">%PRODUCTNAME</help:productname> of the changes you make.
