Re: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=111210
The uploaded files were newly created by me, since I cannot upload my actual
database data (due to data protection).
The fact that the letter has a registered database that differs from the DB
name is irrelevant - an odb file can be registered in OO.org under any name -
even one completely different from the file name.
I have done this before from Tools -> Options -> Openoffice.org Base ->
Databases -> New
Hence, closing the Issue on this basis is unfounded.
This is not a frivolous report. I have been using Base for several years and
have distributed logbooks for cardiology trainees in the format. It appears
that this particular DB is unable to transfer from OO.org 3.0 to 3.2 and still
preserve its merge function.
In order to merge my letter, I have to export the Base query (which works) to
Excel (MS Excel - since it does not work in OO.org Calc either), and transfer
the Merge letter to MS Word prior to performing the merge.
This may be a problem with the way I use Writer, but the process I have
performed is identical to what I was using in 3.0, which worked. I have tried
changing the Exchange DB, deleting and recreating the DB registration, and
manually re-entering the fields, but I am unable to merge a letter to a single
odt file, which had previously worked properly.
Thanks for your consideration of re-opening the report.
