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.

2nd button "Design Mode" = on
2nd last button "More Controls"
Pick "Calendar Field from toolbar "More Controls"
Draw the control on the sheet.
If some wizzard pops up: Cancel (no database connection here)
In the control's properties: "Dropdwon" = Yes
Next problem is: How to put the selected data into a cell? Unlike many
other controls a date field has no property "Linked Cell". But this
could be solved with a very simple macro.
All suggestions gratefully received. I have checked
OpenOffice.org API - Code Snippet Base, OpenOffice Calc Tips and Help.
Sorry for top posting. I am getting really frustrated. 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.
This is soo sad. My impression is, that many Linux packagers do a very
bad job, spoiling OpenOffice.org with their "desktop integration" and
"optimizing".
