Hi Ulf,
One of my favorite things i miss in Base is, to open a form or
report from inside the database, without knowledge from macro
programming. This was also on the Feature Poll list.
So i want to give something back an tried to make a detailed feature
wish. My second step is now to find someone who is interested to
have a look and could give me feedback. Who will help to take a look
if this idea is "releaseable".
Interesting. I don't have too much time for a detailed review, not to
mention a comprehensive discussion, but would definitely be interested
in having a look.
Perhaps uploading your ideas to some public place
(http://dba.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?) is a good
idea? (Personally, I think the Wiki would be a good place, too. But
editing a Wiki article is more cumbersome than writing a text doc, so
.... your decision.)
Ciao

Hi,
2 Cents from a hobbyist (ex-)macro programmer:
There should be a protocol handler for embedded stuff...
vnd.sun.star.embedded:forms/subfolder/My%20Form"
...to be used just like any other URL as a hyperlink field or button
like you can do with any other GUI-command, for instance .uno:CloseDocument
Additional command line arguments may use that protocol handler as well.
$ sbase -form "My Form" ~/inventory.odb
may internally trigger vnd.sun.star.embedded:forms/subfolder/My%20Form"
on the Base doc's frame.

On the other hand: Base is such a bad tool that loading forms from the
main window is just a miniscule annoyance. I don't really care anymore.
Instead I store all my database forms as stand-alone documents. This
gives far more advantages than disadvantages.
