Field names not being retained (was Re: [libreoffice-users] LO crashes on restart; continually.)

Deleting the user profile seems to resolve the issue mentioned below.

Interestingly, the field names seem to have changed seemingly for the 
better.  Whereas before it was inserting things something like 
filename.databasename.sheetname.fieldname, now I get "fieldname".

Unfortunately, after running the mailmerge, it seems to have made the 
values in the first record (I only have one record currently) a 
permanent part of the fields.  For example in the fieldname "street 
name", it has "Elm St", where it should instead simply have "street 
name" making my .odt file useless as a mail merge document, so I'll have 
to go through it for the fifth time and change all the fields yet again.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance.
