Thank You Andrew.

I have a copy of your book back in Texas. I wish I had it here on the
island.

This is NOT complete, but it is updated. I am in the process of writing a new version.

I wrote most of the POS system we use in our restaurant by
referencing your book. It's 9000 lines of macro code.

I was up on your web site yesterday and noted that you're putting out a
new edition. I tried wrapping my head around UNO several times and
failed. I just don't get it. I've hit api.openoffice.org trying to make
heads or tails out of what's there, but no joy. The API is an
impenetrable collection of unrelated spare parts as far as I'm
concerned, and I'm a professional programmer (IBM Mainframes&  Linux O/S
utilities). I can't seem to get the right approach or frame of mind to
understand the API set and UNO in particular.

Do you know about Object Oriented Programming? For obvious reasons, OOo/LO is built using objects. If you look at the code that is LO, these objects are used and manipulated.

The idea behind UNO is that I can access those internal LO objects directly. The tricky part is that when you get an object that is one of those internal LO objects, it typically supports many services and interfaces. You then need to understand how those services and interfaces tell you how to use the object.

I think that my head is beginning to hurt.

That's why I had to ask for help, and you came through.

Thank You.

Your welcome!
