[Solved] I cannot delete a report

Post by frjoe »

Each time I try to delete a report nothing happens. If I try to edit it I get the error message "This report requires the extension Oracle Report Builder" if that helps. Thanks!

It sounds as if you have a report created with the Oracle Report Builder extension. Have you tried adding it?

I added it, but still nothing happens when I try to delete the report. Now I get the following error message when I try to open the report: C:/AOO?sources/aoo410/main/package/source/xstor/xstorage.cxxc<unknown>:2639;

Then it is not a report but a form and Oracle Report Builder has nothing to do with it.
Or do you really mean 'Create Report in Design View'?

I can't suggest anything else.
Perhaps, if there is no sensitive information in your database you could submit it to the forum and then I or someone else could look at the problem to see if there is a solution?

Hi!
long time ago I had a similar problem, but I hadn't any reference about ORB.
1-Right click in the report.
2-Edit.
3-It starts as a writer document without anything.
4-Write something
5-Close the report.
6-Delet it.
I don't know if it'll work, but in my case it did (without any ORB reference).

Bye!
