Chris, This forum is a good place for Macro questions:
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewforum.phtml?f=9&topicdays=0&start=50 In addition, the OO Developers Guide ahs a chapter on OO Basic and OO Basic Dialogs. It also has a chapter on OO Forms. http://api.openoffice.org/docs/DevelopersGuide/DevelopersGuide.htm (You can also download the Developer's Guide as a PDF.) This page is also a good place to learn about Macros: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php I hope that helps. The Sunburned Surveyor On Mon, 24 Jan 2005 09:21:13 -0500, G.
