Re: [dev] StarOffice3.1 executing macros from the command line
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello Mathias, thanks a lot for your help. I will try to execute the macro as you mentioned.

You could try to bind your macro to the StartApplication event (this should work in 3.1 IIRC) so that SO automatically starts it when SO starts. If you wanted to pass arguments to it you could try to pass them via environment variables, in case SO Basic supported access to the program's environment (I don't recall that). Another alternative would be passing these arguments via a text file that the SO Basic macro reads in before doing its work.
