I just need to learn how to format the > report. The Report Generator (aka Report Builder) is a graphical way to design and edit reports, test them, display the results, and print them. The report generator takes the report query as input and allows you to specify what and where on the page you want a piece of data. You can also group data, calculate totals, change fonts, orientation, etc. The Report Generator output is fed to AOO Writer or to AOO Calc for display and printing. I use Writer, but that is my preference. If you do not have the Report Generator extension installed, then when you select "Reports" -> [select report] -> "Edit" and log in to your database server, you will get a message similar to this: The document "[report name]" could not be opened. The report "[report name]" requires the extension Oracle Report Builder. This may be a good place to start getting information on the report generator: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Getting_Started_With_the_Report_Builder_Extension > Also, why would a person want a database if they could not get a report on > the info in the database?

Same > with QuickBooks and most software. The "group" in this case is this forum. Yes, I would recommend joining this forum if you want to ask questions about problems you are having with AOO. Keep in mind, the forum is made up of users like yourself, who may or may not, have more experience than yourself to help out. Note that there are other ways to access this forum, but I have no experience with them. Perhaps someone else can address that. HTH.
