Description umbrogenser 2010-04-15 18:46:31 UTC 
I inserted a new OLE objec to my document. I then selected the target
spreadsheet file. Spreadsheet file is located on same disk but in another
folder. Just after inserting the spreadsheet file (not as link), the contents of
it appears correctly.
However, after saving the document and then reopen it - the spreadsheet content
is replaced with an iconic symbol having red text reading "Object 2".
I expected to see the content of spreadsheet, so no doubt this must be a bug.

There is nothing weird about the documents filename or path. They reads as
following:
document:
O:\Vern\inleveringer\03\Answer\A.odt
Spreadsheet file:
O:\Vern\inleveringer\03\utregningmanuell.ods

However, if I chose "Link to file" when insert the spreadsheet, it seems to work ok.

I also tried to put both the document and the spreadsheet in same folder. It
doesn't helped, same problem.

OS = Windows XP sp2 norwegian version.
Open Office version = 3.2.0
OOO320m12 (build:9483)
Java version = 6U18 (build 1.6.0_18-b07)

Can confirm this with OOo 3.2 and DEV300m76 on WinXP. 
Had the same root cause as issue 108978; the mentioned scenario will work
correctly with the internal build for fixed issue 108978.

Hi mru,

Is this defect specific to XP ? I do not reproduce with OOo 3.2.0 FR under
Ubuntu 8.04.

Maybe Win specific, did not test it...
