Tom: Thanks. That's what I tried.
My idea for the form was to allow the user to fill in data in a Writer table cell. Then, inside the spreadsheet I wanted to insert a DDE link to the cell in a Writer table. The spreadsheet would do the calculations for the form and generate the result. Ideally I could also link the output of the spreadsheet back to a cell in the Writer table. The problem with doing it this way is that the the spreadsheet doesn't refresh when I enter data in the Writer table cell. I tried creating the OLE object as a new Calc file, but it doesn't refresh. I tried creating the OLE object from an existing Calc file. I got some of the cells in the existing Calc file to refresh pretty well, but it didn't refresh the OLE object embedded in the Writer document. In any event, I would prefer not having two files. I would like to distribute this form. I expect potential users would be unfamiliar with LO. I expect it would be to hard for them to use it because both the files would need to be in the same directory and all the links between the files made to work. I can send you a draft of the form I'm working on to see if you might have some suggestions.
