Hi :)
Many, many people do "goof on the resend".  The mailing-lists here are
set-up to ensure that it does happen.  Glad you noticed and were able to
fix it.  Most people don't realise!

Apache are far better at supporting Base.  Here we rely on a few regulars
who happen to be extremely good with it but they don't seem to have been
around this weekend.  Sorry! :(   Apache forums seem quite happy answering
questions about LibreOffice.  Unfortunately they seem to have 1 forum that
is over-run by spammers and 1 that is excellent and i never remember which
is which.  A google search gave me this forum;
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/
with this section for Base;
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewforum.php?f=13
This section has some example databases (perhaps worth modifying?)
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewforum.php?f=100

This thread seems to cover how to use Calc for a Form/Report
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=75&t=18511
but sadly doesn't cover the final step of showing how to build a chart from
there.  My guess is that the chart would be fairly easy from where that
thread finishes.

Apache have further documentation;
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Database

Note that a LOT of the resources Apache has were originally developed by
people who are now in LibreOffice and that there are quite a few people who
work in both projects.

There are also video tutorials
http://www.spoken-tutorial.org/list_videos?view=1&foss=LibreOffice-Suite-Base&language=English
from a project funded by the Indian Government.  The quality of English is
excellent and it's rare to find one with any hint of an accent
(unfortunately).  I think they take quality very seriously despite but are
still quite a friendly organisation.  We should advertise these tutorials
more widely imo.

Regards from
Tom :)

Hello Dave,

Nope it is the same module although it is being updated.

Best,

Charles.

Yes, I have used charts in Calc.  However, it looks like Charts is
being pulled out as a new module, not just in Calc.

 Dave,

 The charts/diagrams have been around for a long time. You can insert
 one on a spreadsheet by going to the Insert menu then selecting
 Charts.

 Best,

 Charles.

I just went to the LO page and see they have a module called Charts.  I
have 4.1, but the Charts module is not included, so my guess is that it
is part of the new release next month.  Anyway, does anyone familiar
with Charts think that this may be an answer?

Dave,

 What I want to be able to do is (for now) have a pdf report that
 shows
 the statistics (records, averages, deviations) and charts that show
 up
 to four variables on the same axis. So the first question is can I
 do
 that with Base and Calc? This needs to be automated so that each day
 I
 run a report on the current data and get the report. I have no
 problem
 with using LO scripting language if needed, I just need to know that
 this can be done and general ly how.
 If the answer is that it can't be done, or would require extensive
 work,
 then waht are the alternatives? I looked at MariaDb, but did not see
 any built-in tools to do what I want. As I mentioned in the original
 post, I'm fine with using Base and an external program like R if it
 can
 produce waht I want.
 Dave,
