Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 13449
Dbase memo fields displayed as Hex
Last modified: 2006-05-31 14:29:06 UTC
My dbase memo fields created in StarOffice 5.2 are interpreted as LONGVARCHAR and show up as hex characters in my French 1.0.3 release. Arrgh !! I thought this problem only existed in the 1.1 branch. I thought the 1.0.3 fixed more bugs, and wasn't supposed to included those from the 1.1 development. The problem does not occur in the English 1.0.2 version I have. I'm doomed or cursed. Alex
Alex, sorry, I cannot reproduce this with a 1.0.3 (english, freshly installed, windows). Neither with a dBase file created with StarOffice 5.2, nor with 1.0.2, nor with 1.0.3 itself. Do you mind trying the english 1.0.3 version, to be sure that it's not a problem of the localized build?
I also cannot reproduce this in the french version :(
Then I am doomed either to staying with 1.0.2 or retyping the whole of my memo fields for all of my tables :-((
I also tried with the bug case attached to issue 12318, but still no success :(
I think this is a DUP of issue 12318 Can someone (reporter) decide this? Rainer
Confirmed, setting as DUP, and closing. Alex *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 12318 ***

change subcomponent to 'none'
