Hi Norbert, sorry for the late response, hope you got your mails out nonetheless ...

No error mesage. > Nothing.... ... in some cases, such as the one you describe, Base hasn't stakes in the problem, it seems. Well, that's an educated guess, without reproducing the issue, or at least seeing more information about the crash (did you let OOo send a crash report?, one cannot say more. If the problem is reproducible for you, with a certain document and database, I suggest you submit an issue, so the problem can be looked into more thoroughly. > Any ideas what I could do? Save the single documents to a temporary location, and mail them manually.
