Re: [libreoffice-users] What happened to Base report copy-paste?

Drew,

Thanks for your quick response.

Yes, it still looks like I can run my reports, so this is not a workflow 
show-stopper. However, it is a productivity (or lack of) issue. Starting 
from scratch to make a new report with a minor change, such as a new 
"sort", when I could just copy and modify an existing report, is not fun.

AHA! I just thought of a work-around and it seems to work. I opened the 
existing report in "Edit" mode and then did a "Save-As" on it and got 
the new report, which I can now edit without affecting the old report.

Thanks for the help and inspiration.
