I have since changed this. I removed the event bindings and simply call the
code like so:
If oDialog.Execute() = 1 Then
SetAllText()
End If
Also, you hit the nail on the head. My macro uses a GLOBAL variable to hold a
reference to the dialog. What should I do to clean up when closing the
document? Or is this situation to be avoided altogether?
thanks

It looks like you are well on your way! There is a difference between
GLOBAL, PRIVATE, and PUBLIC when they are placed at the module level.
If you ONLY need the variable to be visible in one module, then use
PRIVATE. If you require it outside of the current module, then use
PUBLIC. In general, you should only use GLOBAL if you want the variable
to live for a long long long long time (I outline the differences in my
book, but lack the desire to fully explain it here and now); an example
would be for an event listener, which needs to hold its value between
runs. Think of Global as similar to static.
I must be careful on my wording here...
You could perhaps explicitly set variables declared outside of a sub or
function to be NULL after you use them.

i'm reposting this question:
What is meant by "provide for disposal when the document is closed"? Where

Well, where did you read this? It is not possible to answer without
context. No wait, I just ran a GOOGLE search on the exact phrase and
found this:
http://www.mail-archive.com/dev@api.openoffice.org/msg01793.html
Next time, quote enough of the message to provide context.
Here is the entire quote:
Sounds like everything is being loaded into memory and not being released when
you close your original document. Does your on Open Event macro provide for
disposal when the document is closed ?
One possible reading of this is that the open document has resources,
such as graphics, or pointers, or some kind of internal structures. When
the document is closed, Alex is wondering if all of the document's
resources are released, deleted, freed, (no longer used). Kind of like
what might happen if a program opened a file and then left the file
opened. You could not create and use the file again, because it would
already be listed as open.
I have no idea where this would be in the documentation, because it
would depens on the type of resourced that might be causing the problem.
One possibility might be that your macro uses a GLOBAL variable to hold
a reference to a dialog. The document closes, but eh global variable
still exists and can therefore not be referenced again. If this were the
case, then loading the Basic IDE might cause these resources to be released.
This is, of course, all speculation on my part, espcially since I have
not seen your macro.
