------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jan 10 10:26:38 +0000 2008 ------- I am writing to report a bug that we have experienced within our firm of 200 users. This is in both OpenOffice 2.0.2 and OpenOffice 2.3 - I expect it is probably a problem in all the versions. We have created a datasource (an odb file) that points to a csv file. We have some templates (ott files) that have fields inserted from the datasource. Our users press F4 to launch the datasource window. Select the option to merge data to fields, check that the document looks correct and then print it. When they print the document a message appears asking if the user wants to print a form letter. If the user clicks No, then the document prints fine, they can close the document and the csv file can be edited again. This is all fine and expected. The problem is if the user does the above and clicks Yes. The document prints, the document is then closed by the user but the csv file remains locked by OpenOffice. The csv file cannot be edited. Closing OpenOffice and the Quickstarter usually releases the lock on the csv file and then it can be edited. On occasion, a full restart of the PC is required to release this lock. This is a problem for us as we use the csv file as part of a merge process for creating many of our documents. Also, our secretaries can have several documents open, and it is time consuming to have to close and re-open OpenOffice.
