Hi.
Finally got it to work. In LO3.4.1 I had to redefine just one field and
then the rest were recognised.
Thanks,
steve

Open Writer
Click on ,menu <Edit>, <Exchange Database>
In window on right, click on <Browse> button. Find new database .odb
and select it.
Select the new database on right side, hit '+' to expand and pick source.
Click on <Define> button.
This will update all fields except <next record>.
To tell if you have <next record> field from database, click on menu
<View”, <Field Names>.

Hi.
I have set up a form letter to merge data from a sheet into a form.
This works well and I now want to send the files for another person
to use.
On the receiving end I found I had to add the data source again
(understandable) but also found I had to re-identify every field in
the document to link it to the sheet.
Is there an easy way to do this.
Is it a feature request to have the data source automatically
re-connected on opening the form if the data source was and still is
in the same directory as the form (although the absolute paths to
both may have changed).
