Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Report in Base not executed

Hi :)
Nicely done!  :)

Errr, have you been able to temporarily work-around by going back to an
older version of LibreOffice or have you had a chance to test-drive a newer
version, maybe as a parallel install?  I dunno if that might help but it
might be worth a try!
Regards from
Tom :)
