Hi, I can use the macro record inside an form (Design / Use). What exactly to you want to record? May be the macro recorder can't record this. The macro recorder can only record very basic functions. Bye Marc I have a Base database with embedded forms. (I will attatch it) I open a form. Start the Macro recorder. Type some text into the first text box. Tab to the next. Type some more text. Tab again. Type text into the third text box. Stop recorder. The macro box goes away - no offer to save the macro anywhere. Maybe I am just missing something. Others on the OOOForum site are bringin up the same problem. My environment is WinXP HE SP2 - JRE 1.4.2_07 I saved the form to a odt file. Fixed up the database connection and tried the same thing. Same result. When I end recording I have no option to save the macro anywhere. Maybe I am just missing something? Created attachment 31057 [details]
Database with NewCompany form for testing
Hi, The Macro recorder can't record the things you want to record. When you create a new record or save a record then the macro can be record and then a dialog to save the macro appear also. The macro record can only record very very simple things. I set this issue to WORKSFORME now. Bye Marc Marc, I am lost here. If I open writer, start the macro recorder and enter text then stop the recorder I am prompted to save the macro. This macro includes all my text entry - including fixing typos -. So if I want some canned phrases for database form entry the recorder can't do it. If you can record keystrokes for characters in Writer then why deny the same capability to Base users. this behavior can be wanted send further to requirements This Issue requires more information ('needmoreinfo'), but has not been updated
within the last year. Please provide feedback as requested and re-test with the the latest version of OpenOffice - the problem(s) may already be addressed.
