Re: [libreoffice-users] BaseForms: transferring contents of data fields to the database table

2016-01-07 Thread Marion & Noel Lodge
Hi Egbert,

Andrew Pitonyak's "Open Office.org Base Macro Programming" on page 45
states -

The safest solution is to modify the bound field directly. For example,
your current code may be as follows:
oControl.setString("myText")
It is better if you can use the bound field:
oControl.BoundField.updateString("myText")
The required method is dependent on the data type, which is a drawback to
this method. I am aware of at least one instance where the specific method
(updateDate) failed, yet the generate updateString method properly updated
the bound field.

I have found that BoundField.updateString works well in situations such as
yours.  I have also worked out how to cover the problem of using a Macro to
write to a Date field.  If you ever need to do this, I could send you the
code.

[libreoffice-users] BaseForms: transferring contents of data fields to the database table

2016-01-04 Thread Egbert Eissing
I have a main form and a sub form. 
The main form holds one single record, the sub form contains multiple records 
related to the record in the main form. 
Both forms are holding alphanumeric and also pure numeric data. 
I wrote a macro to evaluate and calculate the numeric data in the sub form and 
deposit the results in fields of the main form. 

Now my problem: The numbers placed in the main form fields by means of the 
macro are not recognized by the back end MySQL database. These simply are not 
transferred, whatever I do. (If I write some figures in manually, the same are 
being transferred without problem.) What can I do to work around this problem? 
Is there any kind of trick that makes the form believe that the automatically 
generated data have been put in by hand and treated accordingly? I am sure 
there must be a solution to this. 
Thanks for any help.
