LO Base - Check boxes not working after upgrade??

users
#1

Hi All

I use here PClinuxOS 2013 (up-to-date), My SQL 5.1.55 and have just upgraded my LO Office to 4.1.2.

Everything seems to be fine
EXCEPT
The Check Boxes in my LO Form no longer work - you can not edit them or add to them. If you click on one a tick appears in the box but as you select Save the tick disappears and it is *NOT* saved.

I have even tried and created a new Tick Box and it behaves just as above,

Has anyone seen this effect or got any idea how to fix it please??

Thanks or any help.

Is it possible that the form is in edit mode? As in, you are editing the control? It is a long shot guess...

No Andrew this is NOT the case as all other fields are working correctly - only Tick Boxes can not be saved!!

Hi Ian,

Has anyone seen this effect or got any idea how to fix it please??

This has also been reported on the French users mailing list. Sounds
like a bug to me.

So how do we, or can we, report it or has it been reported by the French Group.

Would really like to get my Tick Boxes back!!

Thanks for the input.

The easiest way to fix this is to replace LO 4, that doesn't work, with
LO 3 that does. At the next LO release you can install the new release
and run some regression testing on it to see if it brakes any of your
functionality. If it does write a bug report, then uninstall it and
replace it with the previous version that does work for you.

Thanks to Andrew and Mark for their input

I thought about this over the past few days and did not want to wind back to the earlier version of LO and have the problem of getting the "link" to my SQL Database working again.

So yesterday afternoon I came up with a Workround!! I converted all the Tick Boxes to Combo Boxes. It now takes two clicks to set them now but you do get more options if you need them.

All is working fine now. Just an idea that worked for me, in case anyone else is in the same boat.
