Herr Säger, you may have hit the nail on the head, thank you. Yes, even though my query was correctly displayed as the driving data for the document (of course, since I'm using mailmerge, this is a Writer document that has the problem), when I went through the "Change datasource" dialogue/wizard, it showed a different database as the source, weird!
And that is a *fabulous* feature in Writer, just dragging the column onto the page, fabulous. However, there was still one problem remaining which I have fixed by changing the field name "Company" to "Co". Whether I allowed MySQL to produce the fieldname or explicitly speciifed it with an alias, Base would insert the field as "company" (lowercase first letter), and it would therefore display the fieldname not the field contents, because the query wasn't producing a field with that name! "Company" is a reserved word somehow? Surely not!
