Hello Andreas, No, not labels with mail merge fields; I have for years been printing tabs for an archive of musical notes, nothing to do with mail. To this end I have been using a view that I created as a base for the data. I understand the process having used it for years and years. That's why I am so surprised it doesn't seem to work anymore. I have filed a bug in the meantime. Regards from Salzburg H. S.

Labels for label printing with mail merge fields in a Writer frontend? A view with a SELECT statement stored in the MySQL backend? You can change the data source name and you can change the name of the table, view or query and then your Writer users can switch the data source in Writer using menu:Edit>Change Source. But you should use constant fields names. I bind all my mail merge stuff to queries with fixed column names. I can tell my users to use a particular letter template and point it to a distinct query within a distinct data source and everything is fine because they find the right source for the task and the field names remain the same. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/LO-Base-tp4162145p4162165.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
