--- Comment #2 from fred <[email protected]> 2012-04-16 01:40:44 PDT --- After much trial-and-error sleuthing, I may have hit upon a solution to this apparent problem (reported here by me several weeks ago). It involves adding a 'missing' hidden form control (see steps below). I'll be interested to know if this actually helps anyone with problems running legacy database reports under LO. 1. Open your legacy report for EDITING in the usual way (right-click and choose 'Edit'). 2. Now open the FORM NAVIGATOR (button). 3. Under the 'Report source' item you should see these controls - CommandType, QueryName, Command, GroupFieldNames, FieldNames, RecordFieldNames. If there is NOT an item named 'Sorting', you must add it. I found it 'missing' in my legacy reports (created in OO), and when I added it, the reports run properly! (Perhaps this 'Sorting' hidden control has been added at some stage of LO development?) 4. To add the 'Sorting' item, just do these steps: - Right-Click on the enclosing item 'ReportSource' - Under the NEW item pop-up menu select 'HiddenControl', and a new control will be created in the end of the list of existing controls (probably under the item 'RecordFieldNames'). - Now, change the name of this new control to 'Sorting'. - To do this, right-click on the new item, and choose PROPERTIES from the pop-up menu. - In the resulting window/pane, change the (Hidden Control) name to 'Sorting' (type exactly - no quotes, and with a capital 'S') and close the window. - You should now see an item called 'Sorting' at the end of your list of hidden control for your report source item. - Close the Form Navigator window and SAVE the report. 5. Your legacy report should now run/open as it used to under OpenOffice. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
