GlobalEventBroadcaster supports 2 interfaces: XEventsSupplier and XEventBroadcaster. I'm talking about the XEventBroadcaster interface which is not the same as Tools->Configure->Events. > Also the documentation states: > > "The event source in the notifications is NULL (empty)." I don't know where this particular quote comes from but I know for a fact that if you register an event handler via XEventBroadcaster you will get a proper event source. > This is my problem, what I don't understand is how > once in my event handler is called what am I checking > to see if it supprots the interfcae XOfficeDatabaseDocument?

They refer to the foreground document which is not necessarily the event source, so it is usually just as unhelpful as ThisComponent as far as events are concerned. To do things properly you have to use the XEventBroadcaster interface to register a real event handler. I don't know how to do this from StarBasic or if it it is even possible.
