Linking to registered data sources
You can access a variety of databases and other data sources and link them into Calc
documents.
First you need to “register” the data source with OpenOffice.org. (To register means
to tell OOo what type of data source it is and where the file is located.) The way to do
this depends on whether or not the data source is a database in *.odb format.
To register a data source that is in *.odb format:
1) Choose Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org Base > Databases.
2) Click the New button (below the list of registered databases) to open the
Create Database Link dialog (Figure 277).
3) Enter the location of the database file, or click Browse to open a file browser
and select the database file.
4) Type a name to use as the registered name for the database and click OK. The
database is added to the list of registered databases. The OK button is enabled
only when both fields are filled in.
