Hi Guys, thats strange.... on the one side, ready-made-buttons seems to exist, but not in special cases, like a base form in the same container (odb).
Why has Sun not created such easy thing? To present to many functions on a screen is playfull, but stress for ´Non-techies', so simplicity is beautiful. A simply function, assigned to a form, which shows only the "client-mode", without all the tools, would be really good. It must be so easy, to offer such an functionalitiy, and lots of questions in the forums would just disapear. I have recieved now an macro code for opening a new form, but still the paramters are not included: REM ***** BASIC ***** Sub openFormByTag(oEv) REM OOo3.0: Reads the form name from a calling control's tag cWhat = com.sun.star.sdb.application.DatabaseObject.FORM oModel = oEv.Source.getModel() sName = oModel.Tag oView = oModel.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.getCurrentController() oView.loadComponent(cWhat, sName, FALSE) End Sub And fill the paramter in the "Additional Information" tag. in the control/function panel of the button. Hope that this is working fine, but still the parameters, which identifies the next data sentence in the next from are missing. How do I pass on datas from one form to the next form?
