------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Oct 30 17:28:07 +0000 2008 ------- We are using a nice (writer) form which is linked to a database. And thus, the form and the database are separated. When we release a new form (keeping the database design unchanged) and send it to the interviewers on the field, they have to sync the new form to their old working database. It means, from what I understand, that they have to click on the "Design mode" button, click on any form control in order to highlight the "red dashed rectangle" and either right click in order to select the "Form" line or on the main "Form" button in the bar. >From their onward, they must choose the "Data" tab (others are General and Events) and select a their old "data source" path where their old database is. And here is the problem, when the new form has a different path from the interviewer's setting (USB key, drive E: or whatever other path) oobase claims that the association is not correct and ask for OK or Option (Option tells you the error). But whatever you are doing, by clicking on OK as many times as asked, it starts freezing or crashing. If the new form comes from a Linux platform (2.4.1) (with a very different path like "/home/myname/" instead of "c:\Document and settings\") it works: it means that you can click on the ... at the right and associate the old database to this new form. But if the new form has been built on Windows XP (either 2.4.1 or 3.0) with a path which looks similar, oobase tries to find the database ''before'' offering the possibility of changing the path and crashes or freezes. Is there another way to attach a form (.odt) to a database (.odb)? Or is it a bug? Many thanks for your time. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
