Pretty much - you can programmatically run a report using any of the supported scripting languages, but it requires you to load the ODB file (can be hidden) and then opening (running) the dynamic report, the script can save that, or export it, or whatever you like, but yes you are running a script from within the LibreOffice runtime. Does that help any? I rather think not, at least if I understand what you are doing here correctly. best wishes, //drew > > I resorted to using forms to produce a dynamic data grid.

A report is a preformated .odt file who is on opening filed with information from your Database, i suppose you need a solution to "run" the report from in a Webapp ? please give us a bit more info on how things happen. You can use the api and "run" a report with "LoadFrom Url(.) Maybe you can start from viewing the code who is in a LO-extension named "reportrunner" Hope it helps Fernand Any thoughts, now that I've clarified?

But you might be able to use Writer to create an HTML document with the formating you want. Using the Data Source window (use the F4 key to open it), you should be able to drag the fields from this window down to where you want the fields to be in the HTML document. You may have to modify the HTML in the document. I've not tried this, but it is a possibility. --Dan -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
