Description lsmod 2010-01-03 16:05:40 UTC 
I want to use an old serial letter, edit it and use it with a newer calc-table
for a new letter.
But the only option is to ADD a new data source, the old one could not be deleted.
So the old an wrong datasets are always added again.
That's not usable.

Serial letter can only be used to create a new letter.

The button "edit" is grayed out.
I have no idea why it is not allowed to edit the database.

But i must add that i opened an office97 document.
So the old database is pointing to an xls document.

It is only possible to add a new one.
When there is a entry that must be deleted it is not possible!
This is definitely a missing function.

How can an entry be removed?

Currently it is not designed to delete data sources from the list. You can only
add a new one and select it or select any other of the list.
So we mark this as "Enhancement" to somehow add an option to clear entries from
the list.
