Custom report with writer

[phasel]

Hi,

As the reports created are too simple for what I need, I am trying to make a custom report with writer. So far, I am partially successful. I am able to open a template, and substitute text strings with content from the database.

Basically:
dim sURL as String
dim vComponente
dim noArgs()
sURL = ConvertToURL("/path/to/my/templatet")
vComponente = StarDesktop.LoadComponentFromUrl(sURL, "_blank", 0, noArgs())

and then:

dim oBuscador
oBuscador = ThisComponent.createReplaceDescriptor()
With oBuscador
.SearchString = "XXXX"
.ReplaceString = mydbobject.getString
End With
ThisComponent.ReplaceAll(oBuscador)

But I have a problem with some text tables that I want to create. I would like to place one after the other from records of many to many relationships (so the number of tables is variable). I insert a bookmark for the first one:

But how do I tell the macro to insert the rest one after the other?
I only know how to insert over a bookmark, at the beginning of the text, or at the end.
After checking for a long time, I really find navigating a writer document is obscure...

I am really stuck with this.

Thanks a lot for your help,

Best regards,

phasel

Use SUN Report Builder, download, minimalist example.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer.
I already thought about it, but it crashes all the time, and I could not find any documentation to do something useful.
I was not even able to make a normal report. It handled strings as field+formula too giving 0 as output ?? and I found no options.
So I decided there might be something wrong with my version...
If you can tell me where I can find a tutorial for sun report builder that is OK (I googled, but I was not able to find anything going from simple to complicated), I would appreciate it.

Thanks a lot for your help,

Best regards,

P.S. I have made many advances in the report with writer, and I am almost where I want to get. Effort was big for a newbie like me, but that is normal
