Find a few bugs some are solved in OOo 3.0, others can be worked around. My project was a just extending a not so well supported free application. This extending involved macro's as well. What saved my day a few times was that I made at regular points backup of Base document and MS Access database. I started with the following documents (most have been listed by others as well when you start searching this user list.): - Learning VB: "StarOffice 6.0 Office Suite, Basic Programmer's Guide" (from Sun Microsystems, July 2003) - Intro BASIC Macros: "How to Use BASIC Macros in OpenOffice.org" (from The OpenOffice.org Documentation Project) - Intro to Base: "Chapter 10 Getting Started with Base" OppenOffice.org's Database Component (from OpenOffice.org) - The very help full: "OpenOffice.org Base Macro Programming" (by Andrew Pitonyak, rev 34) - Check Andrew's web site which contains many more info an usefull links: http://www.pitonyak.org/ - The Forums to find very useful questions/answers: http://user.services.openoffice.org/ http://www.oooforum.org/ - And of cause Google search. The most difficult thing is to get the right phrase for your search subject. You will notice that the same question is asked over and over again, so which search engine are those users using? Success and have fun, Erik --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
