I upgraded ti ooo 3.1 recently and got Report Builder 1.1. At least with a database created with ooo 3.01 the Report Builder does not work :((
properly. Klicking on "create report ..." brings up the error message "no valid report template available". I checked the path settings, no improvement. When I disable the Report Builder, everything works fine with the Assistant. Surprisingly, there is no option to create reports in layout mode then anymore...

Any suggestions anybody?

I have Open Office 3.0.1 installed on my laptop and I went about downloading this Sun Report extension. When I elect to run the extension the Extension Manager appears to install the extension but then it generates an error

"Error: The Status of the Extension is Unknown"

I tried uninstalling & reinstalling Open Office 3.0.1 and the Extension again and I still received the same error. My friend has the same setup as I do and the extension works fine on his machine so now I am even more baffled.

Can you please advise me on what steps to take?

Thanks a mill,
Sheila

When I go into Reports I cannot launch the Wizard or the creator at all untill I disable the Sun Report Builder and restart the app.

EDIT: launched open office from the command line and enabled sun report builder and got this when I clicked on the wizard:
com.sun.star.uno.RuntimeException:

Hello,

I have installed the report builder and am somewhat satisfied with it. The main irritant is the placement of the Report Header/Footer. When you ask to insert them they are placed above and below the Detail section and there is no way to move them. This structures the report from top to bottom as: Page Header, Report Header, Detail, Report Footer, Page Footer. The Report Header/Footer and Page Header/Footer function as labeled; they are just in the wrong place on the page. The developers at Sun are aware of this issue and have chosen to not fix it. Even though the report builder functions reasonably well I am somewhat put off by the fact that Sun refuses to address a functionality issue that has been presented by more than one user.

Thanks for allowing me to vent.

Hi,

In OpenOffice 2.4 I have created a report using Sun Report Builder version 1.0.2. This report uses parameters. When I run this report in 3.0 using extension version 1.0.5, the report produces no output and the parameters are not asked for. Is this a bug?

Regards,
Jeroen van Veldhuizen

I've been trying to download and install Sun Report Builder 1.0.4. I get the following error message:

(com.sun.star.registry.CannotRegisterImplementationException) {{Message="",Context=com.sun.star.uno.XInterface) @0}}

I can successfully install versions 1.0.2 and 1.0.3. I've downloaded the extension afresh, closed the program and reopened it, and rebooted the computer, all to no avail.

I'm running Ooo 2.4.1 on Windows XP SP3.

Help would be appreciated.

Vic

Is there a link to documentation available?

Thanks
