Before making blanket statements about Base documentation like you did,
you should pay closer attention to the facts. Specifically, have you read
Getting Started with Base? It is a part of the Getting Started Guide.
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/
Base is a relational database. This means it consists of tables. Every
one of those tables can be used to create a form. And when I speak of
tables, I am referring to those listed under the "Tables" category
including Views as well as queries. That means a form can be created from
a query.
Example of what you want: Table 1 contains Field A. Create a new query
in design view (see above documentation if necessary). Add Table 1 to the
query and open a window containing the fields of Table 1. Double click
Field A in that window to place it in a field of the query. Click inside
that field and add + "integer" to the right of Field A in that field:
Field A + "integer". (Use whatever integer you want in place of "integer".)
Run the query. The values for the field you just created will be larger
than the corresponding values of Field A by the integer you used. Save the
query.
Then create a form using the wizard. The query you just created will be
listed in the Tables or queries dropdown list.
