Since Mac App Store versions of NeoOffice cannot use Java, dBase is the default database type when creating a new .odb file. dBase database tables do not support primary keys so while testing a workaround - create a unique index for a table - I found that NeoOffice will crash when you try to enter duplicate data in a table.

I have fixed this bug by backporting OpenOffice 4.1.1's dBase database connectivity code. You can get the fix by installing one of the following test patches.

Note: since dBase databases have limited features, if you need a full featured database we recommend that you use a database with an ODBC driver such as MySQL.

FYI. I have included the fix for this bug in NeoOffice 2014.10 which is available in Apple's Mac App Store.

I have also included the fix in NeoOffice 3.4.1 Patch 14 which can be downloaded from the NeoOffice patch download page.
