Description: When I load a .ods file in Exchange Databases LO doesn't create the corresponding .odb file. As a result the next time I start LO and try to use the database it says that the file doesn't exist, and I have to load the database again. Steps: -Open Writer -Go to Edit>Exchange Databases -Click on Browser -Select a .ods file -Click Close -Restart Writer -Try to use the database Current behavior: After the restart LO doesn't allow me to use the database because it doesn't create the .odb file. Expected behavior: LO creates the .odb file and after the restart I can use the database again.

I am wondering whether this has something to do with the new mailmerge code introduced which is supposed to store the datasource directly within the document itself ?
Marking as regression, but could be the result of a new "feature".

That's very plausible. Please CC the author of this "new mailmerge code" in this bug.
