Test mail merge file

If we try to connect to a password protected *mdb or *.accdb file with the Mail Merge wizard’s “Select Address List...” button, LibreOffice will crash/freeze.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a simple *.mdb or *.accdb database file with Microsoft Access 2010/2013/2016
2. Set password protection to this database in the File menu and save the file.
3. Create an *.odb file with LibreOffice Writer 6.0.4 or 6.2.
4. Click on the Tools and “Mail Merge Wizard...”
5. Click Next until you reach the “Insert Address Block” step
6. Select Address List-→select the password protected *.mdb/accdb file.


Actual results:

The Mail Merge Wizard will crash/freeze and after the restart, LibreOffice usually generate the following Crash report: 
http://crashreport.libreoffice.org/stats/crash_details/a85b09d6-0166-49bd-9c72-1bbae240729a

Expected results:
The LibreOffice shouldn't be frozen after we select a password protected database file.

I don't have Access on Win10 but how did you reproduce this on Linux since there's no MS Access on it?

More generally, any update with a recent LO version?
If it still crashes, would it be possible to have a backtrace?

Dear Gabor Kelemen,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
