Fernand,
Yes! That seems to have worked. I am off and running, thanks to you.
Thank you very much for resolving this problem for me and I hope you
have a Happy New Year!

Girvin,
You need the"form Navigator" (is a button in your form -toolbar) ,
there you can rightclick and have acces to the form properties.
hope it helps

I am using OpenOffice 2.4.1 on Linux. One of the features I liked
about Base was the possibility of copying a form to another name and
then change the copy's data source to another table. I have several
tables that have identical structure and field names but containing
different data. Creating new forms for each table is tedious.
Copying a form and then editing the table it points to would save me
a lot of time.
Now, the "OpenOffice.org User Guide for 2.0", Chapter 7, page 447,
"Attaching a data source to a form" appears to give a procedure to
make this change. However, it talks of choosing "Form Properties"
from a "Form Functions" toolbar. I cannot find this toolbar! While
my form is in Design mode, I looked in View -> Toolbars and there are
"Form Controls", "Form Design" and "Form Navigation" options with all
but the last checked. There does not seem to be a "Form Functions"
option. In the "Form Controls" toolbar, there is a "Form" icon, but
it is grayed out.
How do I go about changing a form's data source?
