Hi Andreas; I think I have a major problem with my OOo macros or BASIC.
I tried your suggestion below. Couldn't drag and drop any controls -- design mode on and off. My built-in macros in the OpenOffice.org Macros file crash. I tried the 'Schedule' macro and some others. I have built a couple of macros to help me construct a project. They have all removed themselves. Some functions don't seem to work the way I expect (but that could be me). I am been saving my project as *.xls because I want to share it eventually with Excel users. Should work for everything but protection. Tried macros on a *.ods version but no improvement. I am using Fedora Core 5, Linux 2.6, Gnome 2.14.2, OOo 2.0.2.

I have been selling (loud mouthing) all things Linux for my little project. I would hate to have to admit I couldn't get a M$ Office equivalent program to work for me. > -- Regards Bill --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
