Hello
This has been happening recently and more often than before. Every so often when I try to make a connection to embedded Firebird I get an error that it is unable to create folder. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
See Tools → Options → LibreOffice → Paths.
Which is the folder for “Temporary Files”?
Base tries to create a temporary folder in this folder for “Temporary Files”. In this Base-folder the packed Firebird file will be unpacked.
the path is:
C:\Users<<my_login_id>>\AppData\Local\Temp\LibreOfficePortableTemp\temp\
Never worked with portable versions, also never worked with Base and Firebird on Windows systems. Does this path really exist? Might be it isn’t writable for portable version.
Well the path does exist. I was able to get a folder listing
I would take the extracted Firebird database and set the connection to this external database file.
Open the connection, have a look at temporary folder, look for a subfolder which contains “firebird.fbk” (packed version of your data) and “firebird.fdb”. You could copy this “firebird.fdb” to where you need it and connect directly through Base. So the temporary folder isn’t needed any more.
