Thanks Ann. Do you know of any users using it in a similar way to the
way I want to use it, namely as an embedded database, in an
application used by a lot of non-techie users, that I might be able
to use as a reference?

Where in the documentation might I read to better understand what the
exact difference is in functionality between the embedded and server
versions?

Thanks again.
