How to deal with the 'read only' error in OpenOffice pluggin?

Yam
I upgraded to rc5 when it came out. Everything was going fine.
Upgraded the OpenOffice pluggin last nite, then I could not generate bibliography and footnote anymore. When I click on any of the pluggin icons, it just said 'Read-Error: this citation is read only'. Stuck, no idea what's wrong. Can anyone help?

(using OpenOffice 2.3)

    Having the same problem.

    Actually the error is in tha macro script and saying "This property is read only" referring to the line:
    Mid(fnRemoveString, nTagStart, nEnd - nTagStart + 1, "")

    How do I solve this?

    Actually now I managed to make it work again by unistalling and reinstalling - but I lost all my in-document citations. Strange! I had a backup of course, but still... I guess it is beta and no great harm done really since I can fix this in half an hour.

    I'm having the same problem. Funny thing is that every once in a while it works again 1 time.

    Rytmisk: What exactly did you uninstall and reinstall? Zotero, Openoffice, Openoffice extensions or the whole lot? What was it you lost? I just want to know if this is an option.

    I unistalled the openoffice.org extension and reinstalled it. Usually that doesn't do anything to the references as such, but this time it went bananas and I had to manually enter every reference in the openoffice document all over again. The database was intact though since the mozilla plugin worked fine.

    Good luck

    Weird stuff. I've uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of times and I've tried both in Openoffice (for Mac) and Neooffice, but nothing helps, except a couple of times when it worked once but then stopped.
