I created a form in LibreOffice Base and its data is connected to the tables within Base. I also created a button. When I select a record with the form and then click the button, the data gets printed.
I'm using a macro which selects a Writer as template with mail merge of that database and prints a document with the data from a currently selected record form Base forms.
How do I select multiple records and print them instead of just one?

Goal - Run a weekly sales report. Use the data from that report to populate a custom item field on the item record (Kit item) in NetSuite.
Can this be done using a workflow or???
Before you try to write a Script or create a Workflow, I recommend you investigate NetSuite's ability to populate Custom Fields with Search Results.
Check out the Help page titled Creating Custom Fields with Values Derived from Summary Search Results for the details.
The basic process will involve creating a Saved Search that generates the data you need, then using the Validation and Defaulting tab on your Custom Item field to select the Search you created.
This should be done using SuiteScript. In your script, run a search, store the data as JSON, and submit the data to the item record. You could submit the data into a single text field on the item record, but it would be better to create a Custom Record Type "Sales Report" which has a list/record field sourced from the item and with the "Record Is Parent" checkbox checked. This will display your custom record on the item in a sublist. Using a Custom Record Type will allow you to store the data over multiple iterations. If you use a field on the item record it will be replaced each time you run the script.
I want to have an unbound datasheet control in ms access forms or any other alternative tabular data showing control, where I can add rows dynamically and save it to database on form submission not on each next row.
I tried bound datasheet but it saves records as new rows is created, is there some property or method which prevent record saving automatically.
or any other alternative.
below is snap (red portion is not created, I want like this).
actually I want to save order
which has child table order_details
for order details I want this control
No, the records have to exist somewhere.
Use a temp table where you create 10 or so empty records before opening the form, and delete all records when you close the form.
I am making a continuous form for entering data into a table. Currently the form displays all existing data entries. Is it possible to only display the initial empty entry and basically hide the existing ones?
If you want the form to always display only new entries, set its Data Entry property to Yes. That setting is found on the Data tab of the form's property sheet.
Alternatively, you can leave Data Entry set to No but ask for data entry mode when opening the form via DoCmd.OpenForm:
DoCmd.OpenForm FormName:="Form1", DataMode:=acFormAdd
I have a form and it's record source is a table. I created the form separately and added the control sources to the different fields in the form and also changed it's record source. I imported values from an excel sheet into the table and when I open the form, I do not see the tabe values being displayed in the form. Any idea what I should do to see the table records in the form?
In form design mode, check the form's DataEntry property. It sounds like yours is set to Yes, which hides existing records and only allows new entries. Change it to No and you will see the existing records.
Another possibility is that a filter is active and no records match that filter.
Use a form wizard to generate a working form based on your table. Then once you can see the data being displayed in the form, customise as needed.
I'm not real familiar with inputting data through forms. Up until now I've just been handling the data from the table. However, now I have a table with two pieces of information:
Group ID
Each ID is in a group, not all IDs are represented in the table (ie there is another table with a complete list of IDs...many to one), and multiple IDs can be associated with the same group.
I want to make a form that allows the user to add a new ID/group row, edit an existing ID's "Group," and delete an existing Row. I want the user to see the changes he/she has made. I think there's a way to show a snapshot of the table as part of the form? How do I do all this?
Have you tried a continuous form? You can use a combo to display additional information for each control/field, if that is required.
EDIT re Comment
From your comments and original post, it seems that what may suit is a main form and subform. The subform can be set to prevent editing - it will display the existing groups. The main form will have your combos and buttons.
As to the various types of form, look at the Views Allowed property for the form, you will find:
Single Form (suitable for main form)
Continuous Form (suitable for subform)
Datasheet
Link one table (or query) to the main form and your second table (or query) to a sub form. Drag your sub form onto the main form. Tie the two forms together in properties (sub form) under link master fields and link child fields add the key ID.
