I'm trying to setup a database for my brother, to track some of his

I have a form he wants, setup in writer. Getting the base portion is
"simple" enough.
Now, is there any way, to have the form link into base, and use each
field as indicated in the database, so he can print each record
separately?
Thanks
Hi Rodney,
Well, yes.
You could go one of two ways I suppose.
1) you could use a macro to step through a record set and print the form
for each record. There is a good example of that on one of the forums
from a while back. The macro is quite simple.
2) You can do this using the Mail Merge feature - but you are not
limited to mail merge fields if you created the form fields in advance.
The way I have done it is by saving the form as a template and then
starting mail merge for a new document, based on the template. Then just
blow right by the part where you pick the mail merge fields. Hopefully
that makes sense.
The question I would ask you is: Does you brother want to generate
printed documents for every record in the database, every time?
