Description timcastle 2003-08-12 14:43:53 UTC 
When I clicked on dbf files with legacy version they opened in Calc. Now with 
RC2 they open in writer. Database file should open in Calc, shouldn't they?
Comment 1 timcastle 2003-10-10 13:29:52 UTC 
Installed 1.1 Final.  Now when I click on dbf files I get two opened 
documents; the dbf file and an untitled calc document.
Comment 2 timcastle 2003-10-10 13:41:32 UTC 
Some dbf files open in writer, in former versions they opened in 
calc.  When this happens I still get two open documents as in last 
post.
Comment 3 timcastle 2003-10-10 13:43:19 UTC 
Some dbf docs open in writer, others in calc.  All open with 
additional untitled calc doc.
Comment 4 jack.warchold 2003-11-13 18:04:46 UTC 
can you please attach a dbf document to make it more easier to 
reproduce this behavior?

Comment 7 jack.warchold 2003-11-27 16:16:39 UTC 
so, i talked to some developers, OOo never made automatic 
registrations of dbf files. so if i click on a dbf file xp tells me 
that there is no registered progam for such files. have you build the 
the link to OOo by your own? or do i missunderstood what you did?
Comment 8 timcastle 2003-12-01 14:40:38 UTC 
XP asked what program to open file with.  I chose OOo.  This worked 
fine in previous versions.
Comment 9 jack.warchold 2003-12-04 14:51:21 UTC 
ok we tested this here on xp, in the way you described, and it opens 
fine in a calc spreadsheet no other windows were opend.

i just can set this as wfm

my only tipp on this issue is, make a clean installation of the 
office: just deinstall the installed one, remove all registry entrys 
and reinstall the office again. 
sorry for this.
