[Solved] Use Wizard to Create Report Grayed Out

Post by SignDude »

I've installed OpenOffice needing only BASE. I've created a database and become comfortable using it for entering, changing, deleting, filtering etc. My problem is now that I'm ready to begin creating some Reports, I can find no way to begin creating either with a Wizard or otherwise as the "Use Wizard to Create Report" is Grayed out.

I've downloaded and installed the Oracle Report Builder 1.2.1 through the Extension Manager. Still no way to begin creating a Report.

Did I miss selecting something during the initial installation of OpenOffice at the beginning?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks :crazy:

Sorry for the confusion...

While waiting for a reply I did some more perusing in the FAQs and found someone having the same problem.

After several days of reply vs. reply with no solution, someone suggested he/she needed to install Writer. So I uninstalled OpenOffice and reinstalled and added Writer along with Base.

All is well and working. I guess this one is SOLVED.

Thanks. :bravo:
