Probably tables appeared on latest version, have not checked that. Half a year ago there were just bands with bordered fields, where there is no option to create generic table, looks like one, but does not act as table.
No, there is no sub-reports at the moment, but I did not find useful the way it is implemented in Jasper or generic Relatorio. So this is feature to go for. In this case workaround would be copy-paste combination. ;) For barcodes check the sample report, for crosstabs you will have to do them with python (knowing statistics, I do not expect the task to be hard to accomplish). Charts ... [Laughing], have you ever used OOo for charts, they are native, and can be used just like any other OpenOffice.org feature. Browse the net, you will find tons of extra OOo addons for free, while with Jasper you will have to pay big bucks for almost every extra feature. And what is the best, if you know how to use OOo (or at least M$ Word and Excel), then you know 75% of reporting. About complexity of tasks, I would not say that standard office package, which is being used by ordinary users all around the world, would be more complicated, than iReport with X-paths and Java on any task. Text formating... Standard customer agreement, where the customer requisites should be placed right inside the text flow (the formated one, with bullets, dynamic numbering, etc.). This is normal report for ERP package. The initial document is being often supplied as the Word or Writer. Just imagine, how much time it would take you, to recreate the formatting for 2...3 pages in Jasper, whilst I will take the original doc/odt file, open it in OOo Writer, place required fields - 10 minutes of work. -------------------- m2f -------------------- -- http://www.openobject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=56875#56875 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ Tinyerp-users mailing list http://tiny.be/mailman2/listinfo/tinyerp-users
