Hi Jacob,
Check out this December 23, 2004 post in the XML developer forum: http://xml.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=dev&msgNo=2214
The post is from Daniel Volgelheim, who serves on both the OASIS OpenDocument XML file format TC, and the W3C XForms TC. You'll see from the above link that Daniel has XForms operational in the recent OOo beta. Baring an unforeseen show stopper, there is every expectation that OOo 2.0 will ship with XForms. This week there were some recent adjustments to the XForms namespace addressing in the OASIS OpenDocument specification, but these were minor changes.
You can also view a pdf of Daniel's October OOo Conference presentation concerning the OOo - OASIS XForms implementation:

Of course, you could also contact Daniel directly :) Daniel Vogelheim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hope this helps, ~ge~

What the article doesn't cover is the work going on at OpenOffice.org and OASIS regarding XForms. Good article though. Even if they missed
entirely the fact that by accepting the OASIS OpenDocument specification
as meeting their future file format requirements, the EU is endorsing
XForms. In fact, they requested it! Novell Office, IBM WorkPlace, Sun
StarOffice, and even Adobe claim support of OpenDoc, which is to say
they support XForms too. My guess is that governments standardizing on
XForms will have a profound impact on all related commerce. Including
the offerings of information system vendors and provisioner. How did
they miss this?

Woa Nelly!
Did you just say that OOo _already supports_ the XForms standard?!! Brilliant. Where's the documentation that tells how to interface with the components that understand the XForms, what project does this lie under, does it rely in any manner shape or form on VCL?
Thanks! Jacob
