Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 73442
No record change printing labels from a query if database name changed

The issue is as I attempted to mail to this programmer in an email that never got to its destination. ================================================================================== Dear Mr. Mchristi: I am an Oo Base user in Canada who has had a problem with printing labels that is similar to Issue 58815. The database was originally created out of a table from an MS Access database, but has been operating in Oo Base for some time. When data changes are made, I change the filename so as to avoid other users of the same database from working with old data. However when I do this, the print application prints without changing records at each label. Moreover, renaming the database back to its old name does not solve the problem. I am forced to go back into the database and recreate the print application. Please note that this is a case where I am actually printing linked to a query, not the main table. I have attached a copy of the print application. Can you shed any more light on this hidden character which is supposed to cause the change of records? I had even tried to use the clipboard to reinsert that character from another working print application. BTW this problem did not seem to happen with the other applications that print from the main table. Also, I notice now that I have to load the query in the print application print menu each time I want to print. I didn't have to do that before.

A secondary thought, perhaps connected with this problem? In Writer this is a 'normal' but sometimes annoying feature. All database fields are recorded using their "registered-databasename.fieldname" Changing the database makes the fields unusable. A workaround was to change the connected filename like old.dbf into new.dbf in the registered database name in OpenOffice (like addresses). The existing fields could remain on their place and where giving the info from the new.dbf trough the registered addresses database.
clu->rebm: may you add a reproducable step by step description - therefore please read: http://qa.openoffice.org/ooQAReloaded/Docs/QA-Reloaded-BasicRules.html#reproducibility thx
