Alternatively, to save copying data into a common .ods file, you can
keep one .odb file (e.g. mergesource.odb) but change which .ods file it
points to. Open mergesource.odb, then Edit > Database > Properties, and
change the path to spreadsheet document.
Saves a bit of copying data around, but I can see that might not be so
easy as an instruction if there are non-technical users of your merge
document. Whatever works for you and your users is best ;o)

And thanks to the discussion I think I have a much better understanding
and can iron out the problems our users are having with the merge.
We keep getting new lists to merge, all the same format. The secret to
simplification is, once set up, to have an ods named mergesource.ods or
something and then copy the new data in each time or save the new data
as mergesource.ods. Then a new .odb file is not created each merge, and
it is not necessary to exchange the database or re-link the fields.
