Re: [libreoffice-users] How to Link LibreOffice Writer Labels to Database

Hi :)
The Base Handbook might be able to help with this
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications

First it is worth quickly skimming through the "Getting Started" guide's
chapter on Base.

There is also an Faq that might lead you through something very similar
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq

It is generally better to base such "reports" or "forms" off Queries rather
directly off Tables.  It makes the system more flexible for the future as
it allows changes in the underlaying Table to be abstracted away so that
the Form/Report can still get the same inputs that it expects.
Regards from
Tom :)
