I know how to export a form created in Base as an ODT to be used as a Standalone Form. However many a times I need to import the ODT file back into the ODB for various reasons. Is there an easy way of doing this?
Hi
It is possible with a macro. Just adapt the forms names & url (inside/outside the odb) in the main
procedure in ImporterForm.odbattached.
The mainAndrew
procedure shows how to proceed from creation to import.
I can not find specific references but the source of this code must be Andrew Pitonyak. Sorry for my imprecision on this point…
Regards
Thank you @pierre-yves-samyn . The utility works as expected.
I haven’t been clever enough to figure out what you have told me. Downloaded the file (a libreoffice.odb file, though not named ImporterForm.odb). Looked into it with Tools->Macros->Organize Macros->LibreOffice Basic and found the macro main and see mainAndrew.
Expecting to see instructions. Doesn’t happen. BASIC error when trying to run either.
Any spare clues for a novice?
Thank you – very kind. I will give it a try and report back.
