1. open OOo with quickstarter 2. produce an .odb and register it 3. produce a table with 2 columns (id PK, number Integer) 4. close the db (BASE) 5. open CALC 6. name 1st column header in A1 = id, name 2nd column header in B1 = number 7. fill in values (id from 1 to 10, number from 10 to 100 result) id number 1 10 2 20 3 30 etc 8. View -> Data Sources (or F4) 9. Mark your records in Calc 10. drag & drop on Tables (of the registered .odb in step2) 11. follow the dialogue and transfer the data into the table (you've to fill in the name manually and choose to append only the data) 12. after checking if you successfully transfered the data close Calc 13. try to rename the .odb result: not possible 14. close the quickstarter 15. try to rename the .odb result: possible

@qa: the original bug description (on IRC) was: "I have a BASE file in a Windows network me and a few colleagues are working with the .odb but I'm the only one that builds or changes forms when my colleagues leave the BASE file I assumed that it should be no problem to edit the forms but that is not the case and editing is only possible after the colleagues exit their quickstarters" fs commented: "note that you can simplify the scenario by just working with the .odb like your colleagues do, and then check whether you can rename the file in the Windows explorer -- If you can't, then you hit the bug" This is why being unable to rename is a bug: It hints at problems in the file locking.
issue still there in OOo 3.3.0 RC7
