Hi Michele,

Thanks Andrew,
took a look at your examples, but I am not sure anymore if the configuration
service is really what I want...
I guess that what I want is similar to creating a registry entry under
windows XP.
The configuration is the OOo equivalent of the Windows registry. Like
the registry it is a hierarchical database. It differs from the Windows
registry in that we require keeping track of what entries can go where
by means of a schema. You can't simply create a value of any type
anywhere within the hierarchy; instead you need to have a schema that
describes your value, its data type and possibly default value (or a
container where you can put arbitrary values).
When OOo is opened (ideally already with the quick start) a
string (i.e. the path to the file I want to open) is made available to the
macros. (How/where the macros will read it will be the subject of a
subsequent email :) )
Unless you can accomodate you data within an existing OOo configuration
schema, you need to install a configuration schema of your own with your
macro (you can deploy configuration schemas as part of UNO packages).
When the schema is installed, you can have your macro read or write the
data at any time. The data is loaded when it is first read and then kept
in memory (unless it isn't referenced in 15 minutes, in which case it
may get unloaded).
HTH, Joerg
