Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LO Base Queries, Forms & Reports not appearing
Hi Alexander & Robert, Thank you both for your responses and suggestions. Sorry about the delayed reply - I've had limited access to the User's Mac. It is with a rather red face that I report that the problem was caused by me forgetting to load a Library file of 45 functions that I have written which form a central part of the system! The Library file is loaded under My Macros | Standard and is stored with LO files. It is not part of the .odb file. I do it that way because the functions are common to all the databases I have written. When I've forgotten to load the Library other times, (on Windows PCs), I've had an error message when the database has been initializing, telling me it can't find a particular function, and this has alerted me to what the problem is. But the Mac reacted differently, so I assumed that it was a Mac problem. Bad assumption! Sorry I bothered you. However, I did unzip the .odb file as you suggested, and examining the code alerted me to all the calls to the Library functions. So your advice did lead me to the solution. Once the Library file was in place, all the Queries, Forms and Reports magically appeared! Much of the system is now working, but I'm still having problems opening the main menu. I discovered that I have used a few calls to Windows functions, which naturally, the Mac takes a very dim view of! I've tracked down several of these, but I think there must be more. I knew that porting to the Mac would be difficult, but I'm now hopeful that I'll get there in the end.

[libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice - Macro - Java - Eclipse
Le 19/09/2017 à 13:38, Thomas Wielatt a écrit : Hi Thomas, > Is there anyone working on this kind of feature or is there any > developer group where to ask this question? > Unlikely that anyone is working on this and I doubt that Eclipse integration as the IDE of choice for programming macros in LibreOffice is going to come about anytime soon. The aim is to reduce dependency on Java within LibreOffice, not to increase it. That aim does not mean that the Java UNO bridge is going to disappear anytime soon, but it does mean that if you want to integrate Eclipse as your IDE for macro (or I presume Java tool programming) development, you will be pretty much on your own. Eclipse has been used previously to develop extensions for LO, but you would probably be better off asking questions about that on the dev mailing list or dev irc.
