To create a data object from a SQL data source:<br />

1. Display the Select Data Source dialog:<br />

• In Page view, select the New External Data Source tool from the Advanced<br />

Tools toolbox, and draw a rectangle on the page.<br />

• If you are in Assets view, click the Data Objects tab, and then click the New<br />

Asset button on the views bar. The Data Object dialog appears. Select<br />

External and then click the Source button.<br />

The Select Data Source dialog appears.<br />

2. You can select an existing data source or create a new data source.<br />

To create a new data source, click New in the Select Data Source dialog and<br />

follow the steps in the Windows Create New Data Source wizard.<br />

To select an existing ODBC source on your system, you can use the File Data<br />

Source tab or the Machine Data Source tab:<br />

• File Data Source. Select from the list of data sources and click OK.<br />

• Machine Data Source. Select from the Data Source Name list and click OK.<br />

Depending on the data source type you choose, the Select Workbook or Select<br />

Database dialog appears.<br />

3. Follow these steps:<br />

• Select a file in the dialog and click OK.<br />

• If the source refers to a multiple-file database or a spreadsheet with multiple<br />

tabs, the Select dialog appears. Select the file or tab and click OK.<br />

<strong>NetObjects</strong> <strong>Fusion</strong> creates the data object, gives it the name of the selected<br />

file or tab, and imports its fields as simple text fields.<br />

If a simple text field contains a valid path to an image file, you can choose to make<br />

it a text field or an image field.<br />
