Bug ID: 152852
Summary: LibO writer looses connection to xlsx file as database
for series letter and crash when trying to reconnect
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.3.7.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: klaus.ren...@gmx.de
Description:
Created a LibO writer series letter template using Addresses.xlsx file as
database for e.g. addresses. First run after creation works fine. After closing
LibO and reopening for working with the same document an error is shown when
hitting the data source button: "The connection to the data source could not be
established". Going into details it shows "File Addresses.xls could not be
loaded". Apparently it looks for an xls file while the connection was made to
an xlsx file. When I try to delete the connection and rebuilt it, LibO crashs
when hitting 'ok' to save the changes. The bahaviour is the same independent
from creating the connection from writer or through base.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create database with e.g. address files in calc and store as xlsx
2.Create series letter in writer
3.Connect database through series letter assistant or through base
4.Link data fields in series letter with database and e.g. print a few letters
5.Close LibO
6.Reopen the series letter
7.Hit datasource button to select database
Actual Results:
Error message appears as described
Expected Results:
The previously linked database should be shown
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
none
