------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Apr 1 12:37:15 +0000 2008 ------- I keep client addresses in a spreadsheet. I have a Base database pointing to the spreadsheet which I use as a data source to populate name and address fields in an invoice template. Once I have entered the details in the template I print the document and elect to print a form letter, selecting the required client which populates the name and address fields. In <2.4.0 this would print fine and update the fields in the document. Once saved it then saved the last-printed details. With 2.4.0 the document is printed with the correct details but the fields in the document are not updated. This means the document is saved with the wrong details. After uninstalling 2.4.0 and installing 2.3.1 the mail merge works correctly. I have verified this issue by installing 2.4.0 onto a completely fresh system, adding the data source and printing a test. The behaviour is repeated with the print-out being correct but the document itself not updated. Steps to reproduce: Create new Base database Create new database->Next Yes, register database. Open database for editing. Create tables->Finish Save database >From business category, add AssetID->Next Click Next Create a primary key, automatically add a primary key, Auto value->Next Insert data immediately->Finish Create three rows with 1, 2 and 3 in Asset ID Close database Open new Writer document Press F4 to open data sources Navigate into the created database and table Drag AssetID column header into the Writer document body. Field should be added. Press Print, select "Yes" at the form letter prompt Select the row header of the third row Click OK The field remains as <AssetID> With 2.3.1 the field changes to the selected value, 3. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
