Could confirm the buggy behaviour. If I try Edit > Exchange Database there will be created a *.odb-file in path of "My Documents". This *.odb-file will be registered as database during this session, but won't be saved. All tested with LO 6.2.4.2 on OpenSUSE 64bit rpm Linux. Note: There are more buggy behaviours of this wizard. I will try to report them in different bugreports. I can't reproduce it in Version: 6.2.5.0.0+ Build ID: 0d657498080aad86f4b97309fff9bf589c57dc2e CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: ca-ES (ca_ES.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded Please attach a sample document, as this makes it easier for us to verify the bug.

Calc-table as datasource for testing
You only need a simple calc-table for testing.
Open a new Writer-document.
Go to Edit > Exchange Database.
Choose "Browse" and have a look for the *.ods-file.
Choose "Tabelle 1" from "Quelle_Adressen" and set "Define".
The database has been changed for this document. You could control this as "Quelle_Adressen" under
Tools > Options > LibreOffice Base > Databases
where you could also find the path to the new created *.odb-file.
Save the Writer-file and close the Writer-file.
Reopen the Writer-file. Have a look at
Tools > Options > LibreOffice Base > Databases
The database has been gone. The file is already in the folder "Documents" but there is no connection to the *.odb-file at all.
I'm using 6.3.6.2 (x64), i.e. the stable (!) version under Win10 and have the same problem. With this bug mail merge operations are not really possible with LibreOffice. What a shame. *** Bug 138760 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I think I am also running into this problem. I perform the data source wizard in File and create a new database from an ODS, with its new ODB file, registering it for general use, but then after a while, e.g. when I close the original document and open a new one, it disappears from the list of registered databases. It's making me waste a lot of time in mail merge operations. I am running LibreOffice 7.1.3.2 on Mac OS X 10.15.7. not reproducible with Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha1+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: b8d17d754830ab57099dcdfa72a96bfad404ab1a CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: default; VCL: win Locale: ja-JP (ja_JP); UI: ja-JP Calc: CL |
