Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base Report Builder much better, but...
Heinrich, Thanks for the heads-up on 4.1.2.3 lines working. I plan to try 4.x when it gets to 4.1.5+. I will try that Report Builder at that time. I am currently using Slackware 14.0 Linux, 3.2.29 32-bit SMP kernel, MySQL 5.5.29, mysql-connector-java-5.1.18, LO 3.6.7.2 and KDE 4.8.5. I am aware of the talk on this forum regarding the time values. I am using the MySQL Connector Java for my interface to my MySQL database, so I may not run into that problem, but I will look for it, since I do use times as well as dates. There is also a migration to mariadb in the future for me. Thanks again.

Everything works o.k. when using JDBC (for the time being...) It's a never-ending story!

Your best bet to find out is Bugzilla, but I'm pretty sure that what you are experiencing is a known bug. Additionally, the problem might depend on the distributor of the LO version you are using. Ubuntu PPA versions of LO, for example, tend to have their own additional bugs, especially in extensions (like the ReportBuilder).

Alex Alex, For the record, I am using the binary RPM I downloaded from the LO website. So, I doubt this would be the problem. As I said, this is not a work-stopper for me, just a query (pun?) to see if anyone had a fix or work-around. It should get fixed sooner or later. I am primarily glad this version is running at a reasonable speed, unlike previous versions I tried to use and gave up for a 3rd-party report builder which had its own set of bugs. That report builder also had problems with inserting lines - option in the menu, but did nothing. However, it did do report headers properly. Thanks.
