This has been known to lead to the symptoms you describe, including being able to read/write to one ODB file and only read the other ODB file. So, if you have done it already, I would suggest : - shutting down LO if it is running; - removing both the old OOo user configuration folder and the LO user configuration - note that the user configuration location changed between LO 3.4 and LO 3.5, so it would be wise to check in both places ; - restarting LO - the user configuration folder will be created anew. I can't guarantee this will change anything, but it might.
