I’ve tried using and after the browsing to the file name, but get the same result – grayed out “OK”, and no data into Calc. I used LibreOffce version 5.0.3.2 because higher versions do not load on Windows XP, and went back to Hyperterminal because of issues with CoolTerm and Windows XP.ĭoes anyone know if there’s a security setting or something like it in Windows XP that prevents LibreOffice Calc from actually using the “Link to External Data” feature to an updating text file? It does not appear to make any difference if the text file is open or closed. I am currently using Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1 and Windows 10 Home respectively on two other computers with LibreOffice 6.2.7.1 Calc and CoolTerm for Windows, and everything works correctly to log data into LibreOffice Calc. Calc can “see” the text file created by Hyperterminal and set up comma separated columns for data, but when I try to actually use it, the OK is grayed out, no columns are seen, and and of course nothing happens. All programs appear to be functioning correctly independently, however when I use Calc to access data from a Hyperterminal text file that regularly updates, it’s almost like XP does not allow Calc to access the file. I am using Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3, LibreOffice 5.0.3.2 Calc, Hyperterminal, and Arduino Uno to log temperature data.
