Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Reports Libre Base

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.
