------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Jul 9 13:00:51 +0000 2008 ------- The datasource selector selects a shortcut as new database instead of following the shortcut to the specified folder. How to reproduce : Under Windows, create a shortcut on your desktop, pointing to a directory containing an ods file (copy the folder, then "paste as shortcut" on your desktop). Then, in Writer, choose "Edit -> Change database...", just like you would do to select an ods file for a mailing. Click the "browse" button (name may vary, my OOo is in french) to select a file, navigate to your desktop and double-click on the shortcut you created. The browsing window will close and you'll see a new database "shortcut to XXX" with no datas in it. This is obviously a bug, since Writer should follow the shortcut to the specified folder, instead of selecting the shortcut. This behavior has been observed with OOo 2.3.1 and 2.4 under Windows XP, but I suspect it will behave like this with every windows and every OOo since 2.0. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
