Hi all,
The funny thing about this is that this functionality used to work in
StarOffice 5.1. I used to have a form, which was obviously a StarOffice Writer
document at the time, with four buttons on it. Each one was configured to open
another form (i.e. another document), and as I recall (because I don't still
have those documents around), the button could be linked to a file URL which
would then automatically load the other form. I could also put a nice little
picture as the background to the button.
My guess is that this functionality went away when Sun got rid of the
StarDesktop environment...but I could be wrong ;-)
Hi Alex,
Actually the functionality didn't change at all - that is kind of the
problem.
Add a button to a document and you can still open another document or a
web page.
This works if the button happens to be on a form embedded in an ODB file
just as well as if it where on a stand alone Writer file. The only thing
you CAN NOT do is open a form, or report embedded in an ODB file, not
even the same one with the form containing the button. (or a query def,
or a dataview)
So it's not that any functionality was lost when the suite went from 1.x
to 2.0 it was that no functionality to support the new Base module was
added.
