--- Comment #13 from Ralph Peters <[email protected]> 2012-04-30 05:55:18 PDT --- Hi, The default formatting for dates shows the number of days since some arbitrary date, not something like month/date/year. So you must know about the poor choice of default formatting and change it to something reasonable. This may nave been fixed in more recent versions (after 3.4.3) Ralph *If you look you can probably find this series of emails:* ___________________ Hi, I used GIMP to take the screen shots of the actual report. FIRST -- YOUR EDIT WORKS FOR ME! THANKS!!! In the past (e.g., OO 2.4.3), one didn't have to "edit" the wizard's REPORT to format it to get a date out of it, so I didn't even know about the edit that you talk about below (BTW, I've been using Base for over than 3.5 years). In the past, I guess the wizard knew which "entries" were dates and formatted them correctly for me. The journal TABLE knows that they are dates and shows them correctly! Queries and Forms also know about DATES and show them correctly. This "update" to the report-wizard seems like a regression. Having the "Number Format" edit available is fine, but requiring the user to find it to see dates seems like a step backwards to me. You may want to send a note to the "report wizard software people" that this "regression" in capabilities should be fixed. THANKS for your help!!! Have a Happy New Year!

I attached a screenshot of what I got. Julien. On 27/12/2011 19:30, Ralph Peters wrote: Hi, I thought it was supposed to send you a link via email. Oh well... Here's the link: https://min.us/myUrwMc5A#1o I tried it. Firefox complained that the certificate was untrusted, but I added a temporary exception and I was able to start a download. The download button is in the upper-right corner. Give it a try, Ralph On Tue, Dec 27, 2011 at 11:15 AM, Julien Nabet <[email protected]> wrote: Hi, Ok for minus.

Questions? Problems? Drop me a note. I have not tried it with 3.5.0 beta2. I am running Linux Mint 12 x86-64 on one laptop. The other 2 older laptops are running Mint 11 and Mint 10. NOTE! The report made with OO 2.4.3 is OK and works with all versions of OpenOffice and LibreOffice. Reports made with OO 3.3.0 and LO 3.4.3 fail. All 3 reports are in the test database that I am sharing with you.
