I know > long file names can sometimes cause issues, and certain special characters > such as question marks in a file or folder name can mess up backups etc. Have tested this with a path name like this: file:///home/robby/Dokumente/Datenbanken/Sportverein/Neuer%20Ordner/%C3%9Cber%20den%20Wolken/calc%20%3F%20noch%20mehr/Calc_Adress.ods There are spaces, one "Ü" and a "?" in the path. Path is a little bit longer than path, which doesn't work as reported. I have created a file for mail merge in this path. I could execute the mail merge without any problem. Data were found and set in Writer document. So I shut down LO, restart the whole system, restart LO and tried again. Again no problem while executing mail merge. Tested all with OpenSUSE 15.3 64bit rpm Linux. LibreOffice Version: 7.3.5.1 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: d56c1c78db15939340c3db8ee3b6667832313d23 CPU threads: 6; OS: Linux 5.3; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: de-DE Calc: threaded I couldn't find any buggy behavior here. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149698 --- Comment #13 from Timur --- Bug needs to be reproducible. To ask you to attach that ODS here is too early. You should try to solve yourself, but write what you tried. 1. We don't know how you re-register ODS, is it via Edit - Exchange database? 2. Move ODS to TEFL folder and re-register it. 3. Try to rename 'user' profile folder where LO is. 4. If you still have a problem, try to recreate the problem using in-built Bibliography database, create and attach ODT with those fields. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149698 --- Comment #12 from besancon...@gmail.com --- The path exists, but the folder names contain spaces which have been filled with the characters %20 and accented characters have been rendered as %C3A9. Is it possible that the code is unable to cope with a long path name? I know long file names can sometimes cause issues, and certain special characters such as question marks in a file or folder name can mess up backups etc. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149698 --- Comment #3 from besancon...@gmail.com --- "It's always like that, Base file is created." I don't think you understand. I realise that when you FIRST create a mail merge document in Open Office you link it to a spreadsheet and that generates a datanbase file from the spreadsheet. That much is clear. The first mail merge worked fine. But a few days later I needed to do another mail merge using the same Open Office text file, the same spreadsheet and the same database, but this returned an error. The only way I could get the merge to work was to make an entirely new link. This surely cannot be expected behaviour? I am attaching screen shots of the error messages to this report. I am also attaching a screen shot of the log file, which seems to be indicating some kind of a problem with snaps. I don't know if this is related, but it happened when I tried to recreate the error, and the whole Open Office application froze. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
