Hi all, thank for your help and suggestions. In the meantime I've updated to version the newest version 4.1.5.3 of LibreOffice on Windows 8.1/64Bit. The original error (immediate NULL-pointer result) in the old envoronment (Version 3.6) disappeared, but I'm still not able to get stable results. When I try the suggested url "http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=%40%5EDJI,GOOG&; f=nsl1op&e=.csv" sometimes it will be successful after 1-2 minutes, sometimes it will timeout and return NULL-pointer. With another url "http://ichart.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=%5EGDAXI&; a=3&b=3&c=2012&d=1&e=28&f=2014&g=d&ignore=.csv" I also observed freezes of LibreOffice (at least after 10 minutes I decided to kill the process). In all cases entering the url into firefox will always immediately response with opening the data in EXCEL without any delay. Does anybody know about special problems with Windows 8.1 especially when running in 64bit-environment??
