Right you are, the control is not 'data aware', not bound to a data column, so you will need to use a macro to transfer the file path returned from browsing to the data column. In the default installation of LibreOffice is a basic macro library, Tools, which contains a number of file path manipulation macros, these should make conversion to a relative path (note here - relative to current directory of the ODB file, yes?) Anyway, I don't have an example snippet of basic on the disk at the moment, pretty sure there are some examples at different forums already - but I would really like to see this as an answer at ask.libreoffice.org - so if you don't mind I'll put an example there. It's kind of late tonight, but maybe before I turn in. You won't need to have a logon account there to retrieve it. The actual move to a data column is all of 2-3 lines, I don't think the conversion to relative path should be too much more.. :-) I don't think.. What I'll do then is post back here, with a link to the entry there..or if feel like check out the site and open the question and send that here - then I'll post to that entry - either way is good.
