And the Report Builder Extension is in the OpenOffice's extensions web.  Sometimes it has troubles to loud but be patient, and it will show its contents.

Hope this help

I was disappointed not to get any responses to my earlier cry for help (3rd October)as I thought it was a fairly simple problem (except to me!) Perhaps I posted it at a bad time. Anyway, in the hope that somebody may come to my rescue I have copied the text of my first e-mail below.
 
"Can anybody help me please (in very simple terms) to insert a TOTAL at the end of a £ column in a report, I have a very simple database consisting of details of items of stock including a VALUE AT COST field and I simply want to place a Grand Total at the end of the report.
At one time I used either Microsoft Access or Lotus Approach to do this where it was a very simple matter as far as I can remember, but I dont think the earlier versions of OO had this capability. I have tried searching Help and on-line help but perhaps some kind soul can point me in the right direction.
With thanks in anticipation,"

     To do this you need to have added the oracle report builder extension. This will permit you to have a column of figures and a sum of those figures below it. There is a digital book available at www.lulu.com describing how to do this.
