Description pflin 2009-09-24 10:26:05 UTC 
The following macro causes "Data type mismatch"

Sub test()
    Dim str1 As String
    str1 = "foo"
    Do While Not str1 = ""
        MsgBox str1
        Exit Sub
    Loop
End Sub

But it is ok in VB6

I'm adding this comment to all open issues with Issue Type == PATCH.  We have 220 such issues, many of them quite old.  I apologize for that.  

We need your help in prioritizing which patches should be integrated into our next release, Apache OpenOffice 4.0.

If you have submitted a patch and think it is applicable for AOO 4.0, please respond with a comment to let us know.

On the other hand, if the patch is no longer relevant, please let us know that as well.

If you have any general questions or want to discuss this further, please send a note to our dev mailing list:  dev@openoffice.apache.org

Thanks!

-Rob
