4) On three lines, enter under Field Name Name, Address and Telephone. Accept
the default Field Type of Text [VARCHAR] and leave Description blank.
5) Save the table (File > Save). You will be prompted to name it. The name can
be anything you like.
6) Finally, save the whole database from the main Base window (File > Save).
Accessing an existing data source
If you have an existing data source, such as a spreadsheet or database, you simply
need to tell OpenOffice.org about it. This is called registering a data source.
To register an existing data source:
1) Select File > New > Database to launch the Database Wizard.
2) Select Connect to an existing database and choose the type from the drop-
down list.
3) Click Next and follow the instructions to select the database to register (the
exact process varies between different types of data source).
4) In Step 3: Save and proceed, check that Yes, register the database for me is
selected. Deselect Open the database for editing – you just need to register
it, not edit it through Base.
