Named data sources allow you to attach a single data source, such as a database field, to multiple objects. Any changes you make to the named data source here will result in the changes being made to all other objects in the document where the named data source is used. For more information about named data sources, see Creating Named Data Sources. |
When you link to an existing named data source in the Change Data Source Type wizard (refer to the Data Sources property page), the data source type is set to that of the named data source that you select. Subsequently, the options available on the Data Source tab will be those associated with the named data source.
