This might help: <http://www.google.com/search?q=openoffice+%2Bbase+%2Binvoice> Basically, if you open Base use the Table Wizard & you will find a prebuilt Inovice table setup in the 'Business' category. Add the Sun Report Builder: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/reportdesign [not exactly Crystal Reports, but it's improving with each update] And a new book on it by Dimitry Popov - PDF is free, but help Dimitry along by buying the print version if you find it useful: http://www.lulu.com/content/6021296 [Sun Report Builder Guidebook by Dmitri Popov] This also might be of interest (I've not tried it yet): <http://www.fanaticattack.com/2008/creating-nifty-reports-using-openofficeorg-built-in-tools.html> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
