Select a data source

The data source contains the variable data for the document.

The supported data source types are: *.accdb, *.mdb, *.xlsx, *.xls and *.csv. Password-protected data sources of type *.xlsx, *.xls and *.csv are not supported.

When you have selected a data source, you can define the frames for the variable data. If you select another data source after the frames are defined, the frames remain valid when:

1. The new data source type is identical to the used data source type.

2. The new data source contains the same fields as used in the frames.

3. The field types in the new data source are identical to the field types in the used data source.
