pdf export option for FilterData and ExportFormFields
Hi, Adobe products support an extended feature, so that Acrobat Reader can store the content of filled fields in forms. Is supporting this feature in openoffice a legal or a technical issue? Supported features see [1]. Regards Peter [1] http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/API/Tutorials/PDF_export

An idea: Add option to delete profile when uninstalling
As I've been reviewing the backlog of defect reports submitted by users I notice a lot of them that are probably caused by the upgrade profile corruption bug. I see reports of this on Twitter and Facebook as well. Most users seem smart enough to uninstall and reinstall. They've learned that from other programs. It is pretty much the standard solution to crash problems -- uninstall and reinstall and you'll be fine. But in our case, that doesn't fix anything, since the profile is not removed when we uninstall. What if we added an option to delete the profile when uninstalling? I've seen many programs that do that. It could be a page that says, Delete application profile and settings? Default could be No, the same behavior we have today. But this would give a far easier way for users to recover from profile corruption. -Rob

Re: Ebay

I went to your website to look into it a little more and found that it is free software. So I'm wondering if there is a paid version that I am missing, or if the ones on eBay are a scam. You received other answers, see http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/openoffice-dev/201302.mbox/browser since you are not subscribed to this discussion list.

Use of (R) beyond scope of trademark registration
A question for you that has come up in the OpenOffice project. The ASF owns the U.S. registration for OpenOffice.org. Looking up the registration on TESS, we see the word mark is claimed for: Services IC 009. US 021 023 026 036 038. G S: Computer software for use in database management, for use as a spreadsheet, for word processing, that may be downloaded from a global computer network; computer programs, namely, presentation graphics programs, that may be downloaded from a global computer network; software for processing images, graphics and text, that may be downloaded from a global computer network; software for typesetting of equations and formulae, that may be downloaded from a global computer network With our 3.4.0 release last May we are now calling new release Apache OpenOffice and claiming that term as a (TM). But we still distribute version 3.3.0 and earlier as OpenOffice.org (R). So arguably both trademarks are still in use. One further idea was to use the (R) when referring to the website itself, .e.g, use anchor text of OpenOffice.org (R) on hyperlinks to www.openoffice.org. The idea was that this would count as an additional active use of the trademark. But since the registration itself does not mention the use of the trademark on websites, one concern was that we risked the trademark by not respecting its scope ourselves. Any advise on this would be much appreciated. Regards, -Rob

I also see that all new users first make an introduction, I'm doing my thesis on Computer Engineering and I am working Independent, as do systems. I have more experience working on Java and XML, but I think this is a nice opportunity to learn Visual Basic. My macro is now as follows: Sub ActualizarSaldoVentas (Evento) Dim oFrm As Object Dim oCliente As Object Dim oTotal As Object Dim oCon As Object Dim oStat As Object Dim sSQL As String Dim oRes As Object Dim rs As Object Dim sCliente as String Dim ColIndex as Integer 'Dim oIdPago As Object oFrm=Evento.Source.Model.Parent If oFrm.hasByName(id_cliente) Then oCliente=oFrm.getByName(id_cliente) Else Print Cannot find id_cliente Exit Sub End If rs=oFrm.createResultSet() sCliente=rs.getString(rs.findColumn(cod_cliente)) oTotal=oFrm.getByName(fmttotal) Print sCliente Print oTotal.getCurrentValue() oCon=ThisDatabaseDocument.CurrentController.ActiveConnection oStat=oCon.CreateStatement sSQL = UPDATE cliente SET cliente.saldo_actual = cliente.saldo_actual + oTotal.getCurrentValue() WHERE cliente.id_cliente= CInt(sCliente) oRes=oStat.ExecuteQuery(sSQL) End Sub Regards, Yessica 2013/2/1 Yessica Brinkmann yessica.brinkm...@gmail.com Hello, I think maybe I should assign my macro to another event, perhaps one associated with the form to work, I do not know, my idea is just. Tempted now assigned to mouse button released event of a button called Calculate Total. regards, Yessica 2013/2/1 Yessica Brinkmann yessica.brinkm...@gmail.com Hello, Thank you very much for the reply. Sorry, did not know that I should not put attachments. Now I have no errors in the macro, and I used the SQL UPDATE indicated. Just do not know why but UPDATE fails. So, when I check the table, I do not see the value of the changed field. I refreshed the table also but nothing. I printed the total value also to see if I was right and good. I do not know what is going wrong. Regards, Yessica 2013/2/1 Fernand Vanrie s...@pmgroup.be Ariel, Yessica, with OObase database, table and field names are case sensitive, their is no need to quote if: tables are lowercase and fieldnames uppercase. if quotes are used, then leave the dots out of the quotes sSQL= SELECT mybase.cliente.**saldo_saldo_actual WHERE works greetz Fernand On Thu, Jan 31, 2013 at 08:01:22PM -0300, Yessica Brinkmann wrote: Hi, thanks for your answer. Now I advanced. I print the value of the client code correctly. Only now I have another error, tells me that the Customer table does not exist or something like this: Basic runtime error. There was an exception. Type: com.sun.star.sdbc.**SQLException. Message: Table not found in statement This may need to quote table and fields names: sSQL=UPDATE cliente SET cliente.saldo_actual = cliente.saldo_saldo_actual + oTotal.getCurrentValue() WHERE cliente.id_cliente= CInt(sCliente) What is the name of the table? CLIENTES or clientes? Regards
