Downloaded SRB file not an OXT

[macbeth]

Hi
When I find any information on installing Sun Report Builder, it says to double click the downloaded OXT file. The file I downloaded is a zip file and when I extract the files from that they are "executable jar files" and don't open. Help! Thanks!

menu:Tools>Extensions...
Add the zip file.

Or rename the zip to oxt.

Thank you for the quick reply!!! I did as you said and it seemed to install OK, but now when I double click on "creat report in design view" within OOo nothing happens.

Restart the office?
Can you open the 2 reports in http://www.mediafire.com/file/nyzuwwkwm ... DB-RPT.odb ?

[macbeth]

I restarted my pc and it's no different. I cannot open the reports that you requested. I get an error message ".....could not be opened". Thanks again!

Are you running the original Office from http://download.openoffice.org or the special build from the Ubuntu folks?
Where does the SRB come from and which version?
What can not be opened and why? The database or the report therein?
Is Java activated in Tools>Options...OOo>Java?

Hi again,
I got Open Office from the Open Office.org site as well as the Report Builder extension (version 1.0.3) Java is enabled also. When I click on "Create Report in Design view" nothing happens. I have a report with a field "Total" that I need the sum of. Thanks again!

For OOo 3.1.1 the SRB 1.1.0 is needs, other version is not usable.

OK, It works, but I still can't seem to get the sum of a column "Total". The form is based on a query and has fields-"date" "description" "quantity" "price" and "total" and I need the total of the values in "total". Thank you all!

SRB documentation examples.

The properties for any label field I add don't look the same as the examples-there's no place to enter a function that I can see.m Thanks
