Spoke too soon. The data source changes but not the fields. Unless I
change the fields in the document (re-insert them from the current data
source), they show up as blank. This is NOT what I want. I want the
fields to move to the new data source.
In fact, I can't think of a reason for the current behaviour. Why should
switching data sources do that instead of the more sensible behaviour of
picking up the data from fields with the same name in the new data source?

Data Sources toolbar.
Actually, it's started working now for some reason. The error message
I was getting has gone away. Weird.

Hi :)
Is it F4 to bring up a "connected databases" toolbar?

How does one go about changing the database that a form letter
connects to?
I have this problem in several "form letters". I want to connect to a
different database than the one they were created against for the
simple
reason that I have a different set of data that I want to print
against.
If this is a simple spreadsheet connection then I can simply connect
the
database to a different spreadsheet. However I have a some cases
where I
need to use queries with joins and/or sub-queries, which precludes
the use
of a spreadsheet connection.
While the obvious answer is to use a single database and use a query to
only select the current data, this is not ideal in my case. I prefer to
keep the data sets entirely separate so I can archive them by event
along
with a lot of other event-specific files.
