------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Jun 17 04:55:27 -0700 2005 ------- - copy the attached "address.odb" to your disc - Tools|Options|OpenOffice.org Base|Databases: - register the address.odb under an arbitrary name, e.g. "address" - open a new text document - Tools|Mail Merge Wizard => the mail merge wizard opens - "Next", "Next" (using presets) - "Select Different Address List" - in the "Select Address List" dialog, select the registered address database, double click it, press OK - "Next", "Next", "Next", "Next", "Next" (using presets) - select "Save merged document" - press "Save documents", in the "Save as" dialog enter an arbitrary location/name - press Finish - close all documents which are still open, but *not* OOo as a whole => in the location where your address.odb resides, there exists a file called "address.lck". This indicates that the database document was not released properly, but is being held by OpenOffice.org. On Windows, you can for instance verify this by trying to rename the address.odb to something else => Windows will tell you that the file is in use. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
