I have created 2 tables in OpenOffice, one is a Parent table (Name,
address, phone, email), the second is a Student table (name,
grade&teacher). Both tables also have a "FamilyID" field to join them. I
have created a data entry form with a Parent form and a Sub form to enter
the data.
Now I want to create a full printable report in the following format for
all the families. Each family will have from 1-4 students. I know how to
suppress the blank lines.
Parents name
Address
City, State Zip
Phone
Email
Student1 Grade&Teacher
Student2 Grade&Teacher
Student3 Grade&Teacher
Etc.
Can I do a table join on the report in OpenOffice? If so, how do I do
this? If it can't be done with a database defined in OpenOffice, can it be
done with a MySQL database registered as a datasource?
Hi Val,
Since you have received no response yet, I'd advise you to try the mailing
lists on http://dba.openoffice.org project. I hope that this helps.
Val, have you added any data to the tables yet and if so, how have
you done this? i have been trying to do this for several months now by
creating the two tables and then creating a query upon which to base my
input form and reports but when i go to try and input the first row, the
query comes up blank -- there is no first row from the left join of the
two tables. If i create a form based on the query, no data can be input
into the fields. Have you had any luck with this? i've tried finding
an Access-like front end with which to make up my db and which would at
least allow me to create queries and begin inputting data including
EDB-Studio, pgexplorer (since i would like to use Postgresql), the lite
version of EMS PostgreSQL, Kexi and i don't know how many others but i
just can't seem to get beyond table creation and joining and the
creation of the query.
Today i want to create a simple two table model in Access complete
with query and input a couple of rows to see what happens. i've been
looking for something to be able to recommend to my workplace so we can
begin to move away from MS but since none of us is a db programmer the
office db which runs everything was put together w / Access because of
its drag-and-drop front end.
i hope that you've been able to get your report going. Have a nice
day! :)
