What you mean by relational data, do you mean generate a SQL query?
What kind of error do you get.

Morning folks!

I am having trouble figuring out how to do this properly. We use XRMS for
our CRM, but the only limitation it has is that XRMS does not have an easy
method of writing letters to a contact that automatically fills in the
contacts data (name, address, etc.) but OOo does if connected to a data
source.

So, I created an ODBC connection to the XRMS mySQL database on my system.
OOo recognizes the connection, and allows me to log in, etc.

The problem is when I go to set up the field maps in the addressing; XRMS is
a relational mySQL database, and information is stored in various tables
using key fields. For example, to create a full address for a contact, I
need to access 3 different tables in the XRMS database:

TABLE       DATA IN TABLE
companies   company name
contacts    contact's salutation, first name and last name
addresses   contact and company addresses
countries   countries


So I set up the connection, setup OOo to access the database. But I can only
seem to pull information from one table at a time, I cannot use relational
data!!!

How do I get a complete address in OOo using this scenario?
