Description peter.blaiklock 2017-09-06 18:12:05 UTC
When attempting to print labels from a Writer document containing address database fields I got the following error message:

The data source "partial_file_name" was not found. The connection to the data source could not be established. Please check the connection settings.

The file name in question should have been "partial_file_name-remainder.odb". It is a database file created from a spreadsheet of addresses. Making a new database file from the same spreadsheet and giving it a name with no dashes fixed the problem.

The bug should be reproduceable by making a spreadsheet with a few addresses (and a label row on top), creating a new database from that spreadsheet with a dash in the file name, and making new labels from that database. Try to print the resulting .odt file, clicking on "Yes" when it asks if you want to print a form letter. This should produce the above error message.

Please create a minimal example case, so testers can act more quickly.

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the files.
