You are right. It also makes it a bit more complex. For databases
created by LO, all editing of the report is made by the Report Builder
extension. However, for databases created by OOo, how the editing will
be done on reports depends upon whether Report Builder was installed at
the time of the report's creation. Only those reports who were created
after Report Builder was installed will use Report Builder to do the
editing. I have at least one database in which some reports are edited
by Report Builder (those created by it), and some are not (those created
by the wizard prior to Report Builder being installed).
Anyway, I will modify the Report section of the Getting Started
with Base chapter. It should be ready by the time there is a place to
upload the chapter.
