    How can I use a form without opening the database?

    To save the form outside the database, open the database, then the form. On the menu, select File ▸ Save a Copy and then close Base.

    Then there are two methods to connect this external form to its database.

    • First method
      • Open the copy of the form saved outside the database
      • Open Base, find then tables and selection the table which should be connected to the form
      • Put the form into design mode and click once on the form navigator icon
      • A right click on the name of the form then properties, and in the data tab redefine, or confirm as correct, the data settings.
      • Exit design mode; the form is then active and can be used without opening Base
    • Second method
      • Open the copy of the form saved outside Base
      • In the odt document select View ▸ Toolbars ▸ Form Design
      • In the form design bar click on "Design Mode" then on "Form"
      • In the data source field on the data tab of the form properties window select the table to connect (content type must be "Table").
