Hi Thomas,
Platform is Windows XP SP 3.
[..]
However, this does not work at all. Tried all variations (system file
path, URL, with and without trailing slash, feeding the directory path
exactly like the service returns it).
It is a bug of Windows - i guess, you use the windows own dialogs?
Change to OpenOffice.org own dialogs (Extras - options - OOo - general)
and it will work :-)
Wow, that was it! Thank you *very* much, indeed!
Ha, one question in this context that you may by chance be able to
answer: how would it be possible to set (query) that setting via a script?
Regards,
