[users] Reports using parameter queries
How do I get a report to give current results after I've modified the parameters of it's query input? It is giving me results from the previous parameters in effect in the query. FP

FP You have to recreate the report. A dynamic report will only update based upon additional data that has been added. It will not update a change in the query. Note: this is when you are using the Report Wizard to create the report. I have not worked with the Sun Report Builder Extension to know whether you can use that to modify a report when the query structure has been changed.

FP Yes, you can also use the old style reports dynamically. Bug and workaround: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=98163 You can do parameter substitution by means of forms where a parent form substitutes the parameter values of a subform's underlying param query. Knowing this and how to store and read criteria values from a dedicated record of a filter table you may create something like this: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=39t=22936 Hope this helps, Andreas - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

No, that's not true. I use Mandriva Linux and I have the QS. It's a compilation parameter so your packager could do it for you. Mandriva Linux and Ubuntu users use a Go-oo variation with QS. I have set the KDE colour options to be used on all non-KDE applications, and have set OOo to use the system colours. On my desktop all my non-KDE apps use system colours set in KDE except OOo; whereas on my laptop all non-KDE apps including OOo use the system colours. I am trying to figure out why.

The difference is that the OOo installer eventually relented and I got 3.2 installed despite the protests - and without any change to my system (Windows XP Pro x64). The Foxit installer just keeps crapping out after the splash-screen and the warning. Too bad. I was prepared to try it and upgrade to the pay-for version.

[users] Word count
I have a text that has to be reduced considerably in extent while it is being edited; I also have to use the change-tracking feature (Openoffice 3.2, Ubuntu 9.10). I was disheartened to discover that, after cutting unmercifully, the text seemed to be no shorter. The thought then occurred that the word count might be including the deleted words, and this in fact seems to be what is happening. I can establish the correct figure by saving a copy as plain text (.txt), confirming that there is no hidden text, and then I consistently get a lower figure. I later discovered that in the Openoffice document if I select the whole text and do a word count, the count for the selection sometimes––but not always––gives the correct (lower) figure, while the main count does not. Is this a known fault? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
