------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue May 16 02:35:38 -0700 2006 ------- Hi all, One really annoying thing about installing new versions of OOo is that if you choose to accept that your existing configuration data be re-used in the new version, then the profile migration wizard will create multiple copies of the previously registered database files. Use case : I have OOo 1.1.x installed and data sources declared. Fine. I then install any flavour of OOo 2.0.x. It asks me whether to transfer the configuration data, I say yes, it automatically creates the corresponding ODB files (BTW, it would be better at least to ask the user where they would like the files to go, rather than just dumping them in the user's root space or Documents directory). I then install a development version of OOo2 or an upgrade of 2.0.x to 2.0.xx. The wizard goes through the motions and will then create once again a copy of the existing ODB files, appending a numerical reference to the file name. However, if you try to open the previously declared ODB source, it will no longer work from within OOo and will generate an error message, because it has been superseded by the most recently created filed MyDBx.odb, yet the wizard hasn't told the application. In the end, the user gets a pile of ODBs in a directory, most of which don't actually work, and has to go through the files trying to find the one that has been declared to the OOo application.
