I'm using Open Office 4.1.3 and in the database module, there is are 4

report.
The Report Generator (aka Report Builder) is a graphical way to design 
and edit reports, test them, display the results, and print them. The 
report generator takes the report query as input and allows you to 
specify what and where on the page you want a piece of data. You can 
also group data, calculate totals, change fonts, orientation, etc. The 
Report Generator output is fed to AOO Writer or to AOO Calc for display 
and printing. I use Writer, but that is my preference. If you do not 
have the Report Generator extension installed, then when you select 
"Reports" -> [select report] -> "Edit" and log in to your database 
server, you will get a message similar to this:

The document "[report name]" could not be opened.
The report "[report name]" requires the extension Oracle Report 
Builder.


This may be a good place to start getting information on the report 
generator:

https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Getting_Started_With_the_Report_Builder_Extension

Also, why would a person want a database if they could not get a report on
the info in the database?

Why, indeed!


Join a group,  for instance, yahoo has many groups.  You join the group and
then you can post questions and have people provide answers, info.  Same
with QuickBooks and most software.
The "group" in this case is this forum. Yes, I would recommend joining 
this forum if you want to ask questions about problems you are having 
with AOO. Keep in mind, the forum is made up of users like yourself, who 
may or may not, have more experience than yourself to help out. Note 
that there are other ways to access this forum, but I have no experience 
with them. Perhaps someone else can address that.

The short answer is: you can't from OpenOffice. There is no Report

extension, but that was not maintained and is no longer compatible

I keep LibreOffice installed to run my reports because LO still has a
bundled Report Generator. I use OpenOffice to do everything else
because I think OO is more stable.

I am not sure what you mean by "join a group", since "join" is a
database-word. If you mean to join database tables, that depends on
your database structure. If you mean to join a user's group, then that
is your choice. But if you do not join the user's group, you may not
see the responses to your questions.

Maybe so, but the last update was in 2007 and this page still shows it 
as 3.x compatible, not 4.x. That said, I will test it with 4.1.4 and see 
if it works for me.

Would anyone have suggestions on how I might get them back?  Thanks in

Re: 4.1.4 and charts in spreadsheets

Some internet browsers, notable Internet Explorer, silently rename file types 
to a generic filetype.  Outside of OpenOffice (i.e., at Windows system level, 
rename the downloaded file to type .ott; then double click it and OO will open 
the template.  You may then Save the template as you require.  Or, having done 
the rename, use /File /Templates /Organise to manage the template(s).
