Hello Olivier,


it's a cache thing. ( Frank actually pointed that out to me. )

So - if you edited the xcs file directly *then* you must force an update 
to the cached settings to get it.

One easy way is just to open the extensions manager and change anything, 
disable and re enable an extension will do it and as far as I can tell 
to any extension. As soon as you do this the setting is picked up.

Of course this isn't how one is supposed to to this - one should use a 
script to change the property.

Here is an example basic methong Frank supplied in other email - note 
that was off the top of his head and I never tried it...just did the 
ExtMgr trick instead.

  Dim oProvider as Object
  oProvider = createUnoService( _
    "com.sun.star.configuration.ConfigurationProvider" )

  Dim args(0) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
  args(0).Name = "nodepath"
  args(0).Value = _
    "/org.openoffice.office.Office.DataAccess/Policies/Features/Base"

  Dim oNode as Object
  oNode = oProvider.createInstanceWithArguments( _
    "com.sun.star.configuration.ConfigurationUpdateAccess", _
    args() )

  oNode.CreateLocalDatabase = FALSE
  oNode.commitChanges
