Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 59728
dBase support is broken since 2.0.1
Last modified: 2006-05-31 14:29:06 UTC
I am working in a small network with OOo clients and dBase .dbf files. Since I upgraded to OOo 2.0.1 none of the existing .odb files with dBase database connections are working anymore. The connection test works but tables are not visible and not accessible. I made a new .odb dbase connection in OOo 2.0.1 with the same result. The I deinstalled 2.0.1, reinstalled 2.0.0 and the old and the new .odb files are working without problems again. Keep up the good work, René
Hi, I can't reproduce this. Can you tell me something more about your environment. - the name of the dbase files - the path to the files Bye Marc
The names of the dBase files are: A-ARTIKE.DBF, A-HISTOR.DBF, A-KRITER.DBF, A-RABATT.DBF, A-SBRIEF.DBF, ADRESSEN.DBF, ARTIKEL.DBF, AUF-HGR.DBF, F-POS.DBF, F-RUECK.DBF, F-STAPOS.DBF, F-STATIS.DBF, FAKTU.DBF, FORMULAR.DBF, L-BESTEL.DBF, L-KRITER.DBF, L-SERIE.DBF, L-STUECK.DBF, L-WG.DBF, L-ZUAB.DBF, S-BEMERK.DBF, S-OPOSTE.DBF, S-STAMM.DBF, S-STAPEL.DBF, S-USER.DBF, S-VERKAU.DBF, SYBEX.DBF, SYBEXA.DBF, SYBEXL.DBF The path is D:\Sybex\Sybex\GMBH (local) or \\Windows2000\D\Sybex\Sybex\GMBH (network). Normally I use a connection with a network path to use the same .odb file from all network clients, but the error occurs with a new .odb file with a local path, too.
known as issue 59361. Detecting upper-case extensions broke towards 2.0.1 :( *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 59361 ***
