Peter,

I don't know about *buntu, but I download, repackage and install the standard Linux LibreOffice from the LO website for my Slackware Linux system and it includes the report builder already bundled into it. There is no separate report builder plugin package to install. I am using the LO 5.3.4.2 report builder and it works fine out of the box. For the record, OpenOffice does not bundle the report builder and still uses a 3rd-party plugin for that function. If that plugin is not installed, OO will pop up a message about it not being available. That said, I am pretty sure that the LO report builder uses Java. Could your problem be a Java (JRE) issue?

Did you "register" the old database in the new LO?
Use Tools > LibreOffice Base > Databases and "New" to register it if it is not in the list. You may also have to setup your new Base, especially if you are using an external database server (aka "back-end"). I assume you are using the internal database engine, which I cannot help with. I am using the external Mariadb (MySQL) server.

How can i find out what packages I have installed and what packages are required forreports to work. I have an old data base which has not been uses since January 2015 which I tried to open today. This will no longer open for any thing , no forms or views or tables can be opened.

Hi Peter,

Libre Base 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial2

Ubuntu 16.4

When I first found the problem I removed LibreBase and reinstalled it
but the problem with reportsremained the  same.
This is a special Ubuntu-version of LO. Have a look into your
packagemanager. Did you install all packages for the
libreoffice-report-builder? Have heard there isn't only one package,
which should be installed for reports with the Ubuntu-version of LO.

Regards

Robert
