In working on creating my birding database and writing a tutorial for it, I decided to add a button on one form to open another form.
I did some checking in the OOo Base forum, and found this thread.
To my knowledge, all I changed was the name of the form, but I can't get the macro to work. I get a "too many paramters" error.
I asked a followup question in the thread, but have not received any replies. I know we don't have much depth with Base here, but I'm hoping that one of our macro gurus can help me out.
here's the code as I have modified it:
Code:
REM Generic macros needed to open any form
function OpenForm( formContainer as variant, oConnection as variant, sFormName as string) as variant
Dim aProp(1) As New com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
aProp(0).Name = "ActiveConnection"
aProp(0).Value = oConnection
aProp(1).Name = "OpenMode"
aProp(1).Value = "open"
OpenForm = formContainer.loadComponentFromURL(sFormName,"_blank",0,aProp())
end function
function getFormsTC() as variant
getFormsTC = thisComponent.Parent.getFormDocuments
end function
function getConnectionTC() as variant
getConnectionTC = thisComponent.Drawpage.Forms(0).ActiveConnection
end function
REM Macro to open specific form called 'Locations Data Entry'. One is needed for each form you wish to open from another form.
sub OpenForm_Locations_Data_Entry( oev as variant )
sFormName = "Locations Data Entry"
OpenForm( getFormsTC, getConnectionTC, sFormName )
end sub

I asked in the OOo Macro forum and found my problem: I was testing the macro by choosing Tools>Macros>Run Macros. If I create a button in a form and assign the macro to it, it works perfectly.
