Create a new User level datasource that connects to the Kexi database

( note that if you start ODBCConfig with sudo you could also create a
system level datasource )
Now you can create a new Base file as you described - select Existing
database - ODBC - now when you click on the browse button you will see
the connection name you created in the step above. Select this, name
and save your Base file. That's it you are good to go.
You can now create your mail merge document and select the Base file
as the data source.
Sorry for posting to my own email - but it may be worth noting:
Base differs from say MS Access in how this link to an external database
works. Under MS Access one always has the MS Jet database engine
involved - Under Base when you create this type of odb file there is no
use of HSQLdb at all, nor is there any internal allocation of table
spaces - all the odb file is doing is holding your configuration
information for establishing the connection to ODBC datasource, along
with your Forms, Queries and Reports of course.
