[Solved] AUTORUN macro to open a LO Base form
Posted: Fri Apr 16, 2021 6:21 am
I am very new to LO, trying to break the microsoft paradigm.
In a MSAccess database, I created a simple macro and named it AUTORUN.
When I double clicked the database file name or assigned a it to a shortcut and clicked it, the AUTORUN macro ran and opened a database form.
In LOBase I had to look around and fnally found macros under the Tools menu. There, I'm not exactly sure what I am looking at. It LOOKS a little like a Microsoft VB editor. Is this all there is in LOB? I have some very limited programming skills. Do I have to learn LOBasic to create a simple autorun macro to open a database form when the database is run?
I did see something about connecting a Writer document to the database form and creating a shortcut to the Writer document to open the form. I am sure I must have misunderstood that. It just doesn't make sense.
Thank you for any help anyone can give me on this.
