Hi Tam,
It can be done - but as others have said it takes a little bit of
scripting.
I realize, from your earlier emails, you don't know how to write that
script yourself, at the moment - but if you are interested I am sure
one of us would be willing to walk you through the steps.
Opening different files is not that big a hurdle either, the script
you have may have a problem with it...but I bet that can be fixed up
also...
So - if your interested just respond back....
Drew
Thank you Drew -- I really appreciate that. The project I've selected
is turning out to be a huge undertaking just from a design standpoint.
I've been looking at how some other people have done it, and I think
it can be improved. I'm beginning to think the scripting will be the
easiest part. ;-)
I really don't want to be a pest on this list. I do pretty well with
books. I know there are a lot of books out now about OOo, but are
there any that deal specifically with Base, forms and/or writing
macros? I'm afraid a general book on OOo won't be in depth enough?
Thanks for the help!
Pest? - please, that is the idea of this list and of the forums..
Document wise.
Look at Andrew Pitonyak's stuff - http://www.pitonyak.org/ you want to
check out both his document on Macro's in general and his document on
Base specifically.
The StarOffice 8 Basic Programmers Guide is also a must have - found on
the SUN web site but I can't tell you where, I swear they keep moving it
around...if you can't find it let me know I will email my copy - it's a
pdf file.
Commercially, there is a book about Base with a fair bit about scripting
in the works. Last I heard the author was about finished and in the
process of trying to find a publisher..not sure where he is at with
that..might be a good time to drop him a line and inquire.
Other wise - please don't hesitate to ask here or at the forum..
So - still need an example of working with the FilePicker control and
opening files via a script?
Drew
