Re: [libreoffice-users] Looking for input form example...
Thanks for e everyone's response. I'm going to look at the pointers you've provided. What I'm convinced they want to do (I know, not right tool for the right job) is have a form doc that can be opened on demand, filled in by the operator then printed. I'm being led to believe that they don't even want to save it to disk. They're just looking (it seems) to provide a way of forcing the formatted output of some fields. It's not even critical, it's an exercise for them and, as much as it pains me I'm letting them run with it to let them learn from it. Thanks for everyone's time. Best wishes to all for the new year! -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy

Seems you are looking for connection database - print values. If you won't use the Report-Builder you could do this in many different ways through macros. I have written examples for form-letters with textfields, creating bills with tables in writer ... You could find these here: http://robert.familiegrosskopf.de/lo_hb_en/ It is a little bit older. The Base-Handbook isn't translated yet from German to English and also more examples on my homepage are only in German ...

Re: [libreoffice-users] Looking for input form example...
Have you tried using the Report Wizard? You may get a report that you can use, or alternatively, you could modify it to get what you want.

[libreoffice-users] Looking for input form example...
I got asked to help someone solve a simple problem in a simple manner *and* provide a steppingstone for someone to learn more about scripting LO. Has anyone seen an example that is a form for taking simple input and then outputs the form data in one of two manners, either as a simple text file of the values of each field or as a "finished" or "print ready" page. Has anyone seen anything on the LO web pages like this? Preference is for an already existing example and not giving her a bunch of "go read webpage __ and learn it from scratch" (I expect to be doing that for her/them.) Thanks in advance for any pointers. -- << MCT >> Michael C Tiernan.http://www.linkedin.com/in/mtiernan Non Impediti Ratione Cogatationis Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. -Robert A.
