Not the faintest idea; but one thing I think would be incredibly valuable is a chapter focusing on using data sources in Writer/Calc in addition to setting up a database in Base.
For example, I've been trying to figure out how to use Calc as the front end for accessing and editing a data source (e.g. a stock or customer list), designing a form whilst having the other spreadsheet features available. I've made some headway, but I have to say I'm really not finding it obvious, nor have I had much luck finding documentation.
I can sort of get the fields from the data source onto a spreadsheet (dragging them across) and design a form around them; but I haven't figured out yet how it all fits together and how to control the data from the data source.
I think that would be a great thing to have in a document on Data Sources.
Iain.
