Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 49133
Possibility to put macros in *.odb file
Last modified: 2009-01-07 19:29:55 UTC
Following the spirit of odb file as container for all necessary things for database, it should be possible to store macros in*.odb file. Currently as workaround could be storing macros in form (embedded writer file), but it make things unclear and narrows possibilities. See also http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=19961
Hi, I reassign it to the User Experience Team for evaluating. Bye Marc
Additionally, I see that only with macro in *.odb file and handling of "application open" event can be implemented auto opening of some form on Base.
See related or possibly dependent issues: - Issue 26991 = Wizard tool to create navigation buttons (open form, open report, etc.) - Issue 49441 = eliminate macro security question that appears due to macros included in forms

I caused the double up 60848 Ok I was looking for the Macros common to all the forms be stored in the odb. Because at moment for common macros I have to duplicate them on to every form or place them in the shared directory for all documents. Macros attached to the Database. Open a External Form attached to the database its able to access the Macros of the database. Able to share forms between databases just by having a changes required in macros in the odb file.

Hi, I have a user on one of the French n-l lists asking for the very same thing. The ODB documents are not portable if macros can not be transferred along with the document, and since most automated things can only be done with macros in Base at the moment, it would be a "must have" if we are still trying to wean people off Access/Approach/FMPro. Is anything happening here ?

Any progress? Are we on track for 3.0?
Not really. I lost two months or so beginning of this year :( I hope to finish the feature in a not-too-distant future, but speaking strictly, feature freeze for OOo 3.0 is over. I will try to get an exception, but have no idea how realistic an expectation this is ...
given the feature freeze for OOo 3.0 passed a while ago, I move this out to 3.1.
