Report Builder
Verfasst: Mi, 16.07.2008 14:34
Hello,
Even though at first sight, the Report Builder seems a great tool that would fill a gasping hole in the facilities of OOffice, I am sorry to say, but at present I find it absolutely unusable in anything but an alpha/beta-environment.
- lost at least 20 reports irrevocably that were defined under 1.0.2 when trying to migrate to 1.0.4.
- Its interface is not intuitive in some areas
- I keep getting empty page reports (even WITHOUT the often mentioned problems with sorting/grouping)
- date/time formats are incorrect (eg. - when using a 24h clock format, I get 01:00 even though it's meant to be 13:00).
- and, ofcourse it still crashes more often than desirable (meaning that after every step I save the work I have done
I tried to go back to 1.0.2 (after an encruciating experience with 1.0.4). Things are not all that much better.
I wonder what to do! Wait for OO 3.0? I really am NOT keen on using a beta-version!
Help!
