 My apologies for being thick but I can only get the form displayed but
 not in a way that it actually functions as a form (code below). 
I was being thick - this seems to work:

sub subDisplayForm(sDatabaseName as string, sFormName as string)
dim mArgs(1) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue

oDatabase = fnGetOpenDatabase(sdatabaseName)
oConnection = oDatabase.getConnection(,)
mArgs(0).name = OpenMode
mArgs(0).value = open 'openDesign
mArgs(1).name = ActiveConnection
mArgs(1).value = oConnection
oForm = oDatabase.getFormDocuments.getByName(sFormName)
'oForm.visibilityChanged(true)
oForm = oDatabase.getFormDocuments.loadComponentFromURL(sFormName,
_blank, 0, mArgs())
end sub


Thanks, Ian

Hi Ian,

 Also, is there any way of having basic code be part of the .odb file?

No, unfortunately there isn't, and won't be for 2.0. OOo internally
features two application frameworks, an old one and a new
(UNO-based) one. For new applications (like Base), the latter is
recommended, but unfortunately it still lacks some features - like
embedding Basic scripts ... :(

 I can add a macro library to a form but it doesn't appear to get
 saved (1.9.77 for Linux).

This issue should be fixed in one of the next developer snapshots.

Ciao
Frank
