Cor,
In the course of answering Bill's question, you have touched on a basic
issue on my OO-learning to-do list: datasource registration...

I would like to use OO to create a series of patient statements. At
first look it would seem that mail merge is the best way to do this, but
the documentation says that I need to first import the data into a base
database, which is more complex than I can expect an office worker to do.
That is not exactly what is needed.
What needs to be done, is register the 'database' as a datasource.
I know it must be done for OO; I just don't know:
(a) exactly what registration does, or why OO cannot merge on-the-fly
from an unregistered data source if that source is in a recognizable form;
(b) where the registration is recorded, and in what form.
I'm sure that, in not knowing those things, I miss something basic. Yet
I have not so far found those basic answers.
