Not sure which open method you refer to, ThisDatabaseDocument doesn't
have one.

If you want to open a form (in the sense of: display UI) when the
document loads, you should use methods at the *controller* of the
document, not at the document. For this, XDatabaseDocumentUI [1] should
be used. It provides functionality which effectively mimics user input.
So, something like
oController = ThisDatabaseDocument.CurrentController
If ( Not oController.isConnected() ) Then
oController.connect()
End If
oController.loadComponent( "my form", _
com.sun.star.sdb.application.DatabaseObject.FORM,
FALSE ' not for editing, but for data entry
)
should do what you want.
Ciao
