General Error in Sun Report Builder

Post by hstoellinger »

All of a sudden NONE of about 20 reports that I defined using 1.0.2 of Sun Report Builder work anymore. I keep getting a "very instructive" message - "general error" when I try to edit a report. When I try to run it I keep getting just a blank page. I can define new reports and they work fine but it's a daunting task to redefine all reports. Any ideas?

Further to my original post...
All reports are still listed under "Reports" with their correct name. When I try to run them, I get nothing but a blank sheet. Trying to edit them, I either get the mentioned "General Error" ("Allgemeiner Fehler" in German) or only the detail part of
the report editing window (no report header/footer part). Could this maybe have to do with some incompatibility with other extensions that I have installed using the extension manager? Also, I can access any defined tables/views as normal. I also
loaded a backup .odb file of a couple of days ago (when everything still worked fine) - to no avail.

Well, which other extensions did you load?

You can create new reports, but not run existing ones, correct?

Yes, I can create new reports with no problems at all.

Besides the Report Builder itself I have the following extensions installed and activated at the most recent level:
- Bookmark Menu
- Language Tool
- OOOP-accessories
- OOOP-Templates-Unified-de
- Pagination
- Sun-ODF-Template-Pack-de
- Writer-Tools.
I deactivated them, restarted OpenOffice --- no change!
Thanks for any ideas..
