I am using OpenOffice.org 2.4 and have created a database. I created a
query based on the table so that I can see the data of one specific
month at a time. For example, in the Criterion Line I have put
"BETWEEN 01/05/2008 AND 31/05/2008" and this will print out all
records or May. I created a report based on this query, but when I
change this one criterion line in the query it does not show up in the
Report.
Is there a way to fix this?

Hello Rebecca,
Using version 2.4 the report wizard uses the name of the query the
report is based by on extracting the SQL select statement from it, then
writing this statement into a hidden control on the form document. When
the report is generated it is this copied SQL statement that is actual
used, not the query object.. This is why when you change the Query then
run the report the again the change is not reflected.
One way around this is to use named replacement parameters in your
query, as these will be copied when the report is created the system
will prompt for the values to use when the report is generated. This
will require that you alter the way you setup the Query then. Instead of
using BETWEEN you would need to use to fields one being >= and the other <=.
For example:
If your original query where
SELECT * FROM "Table1"
WHERE "DateCol" BETWEEN #01/05/2008# AND #31/05/2008#
the altered query would be
SELECT * FROM "Table1"
WHERE
"DateCol" >= :StartDate
AND
"DateCol" <= :EndDate
Now if you create a dynamic report from this query when the report is
run a dialog box will pop up and ask the user for the StartDate and
EndDate values to use.
