[Solved] Can't execute macro from Base

[AfTech54]

Hi!
I can't execute macros from my base form button. The macro is working if I run it directly from Tools>Macros>Organize macros>OpenOffice basic-macros>My Macros>Standard>Base>Existing macros>selected macro>run

In OOO>Settings>Tools>Security>Macro Security:
I've set level to High or Highest and selected Trusted sources:
C:\Users\Roger\AppData\Roaming\OpenOffice\4\user\basic\standard (where I can find my macros).

The button is still not executing the macro!
The AppData folder is hidden if that matters?

[Zizi64]

Try to set the Macro security to Medium. (At least set it temporarly.) Then the LO will ask you at opening the file about the macro running. You can enable or disable it.

Which event of the Button you have assigned the macro to?

The AppData folder is hidden if that matters?

It is hidden on Windows by default. You can set them "visible" in the two panel file manager softwares like the Total Commander.

Tanks Zizi64!

I doesn't work with medium either.

I'm using Mouse Button Pressed/Clicked.
One button open a help-dialog and the other creates a csv-file by first opening a dialog so I can enter a filename to it.
I don't think the problem is with the macros as I can run them directly from the tools menu.

[Zizi64]

Can you upload the macro code here? (And please upload a sample file if it is possible...)

[AfTech54]

Couldn't upload the macros here so I sent it to you by mail.

[Hagar Delest]

If the macros are too long, you can attach them in a txt file for example.

[Zizi64]

I just tried to embed the macro code received by email, but the unwanted LineFeeds in the email messed up the structure of the the code. I fixed some lines but there are too many lines...

REM  *****  Macro to Create a txt file Output From Query in Base HSQL
REM  *****  Originally written by Sliderule 2009-07-25
REM  *****  Will take an existing Query / Table in the given database, ADD
code "INTO TEXT " + sOutputFileName
REM  *****  So an .txt ( or .CSV based on commented code below ) will be
created
REM  *****  in the same directory where your *.odb file exists
REM  *****
REM  *****  ALTER / CHANGE sQuery_Default to reflect the default name of
the Query / Table / View  to be output
REM  *****  ALTER / CHANGE sOutputFileName_Default to reflect your default
Output CSV file to be created
REM  *****  ALTER / CHANGE sHeader_Default to reflect your default to
include "header" ( field names ) as first row
REM  *****  ALTER / CHANGE sDBName_Default to reflect your default
REGISTERED Database File Name
REM  *****
REM  ***** If, First Parameter ( sQuery ) is AllTables . . . will
automatically create txt file for all Tables in HSQL database
REM  *****
REM  ***** To run from Calc, use the following as examples:
REM  ***** =ExportHSQL() -- Run the Function with all the DEFAULT
parameters
REM  ***** =ExportHSQL("?")  -- To display a HELP screen explaining the
function parameters
REM  ***** =ExportHSQL("Prompt") -- To Prompt User for each of the 4
Parameter Input via InputBox Prompts
REM  ***** =ExportHSQL("MyQuery")  -- Run with designated Query, default
output file, Headers and DB Name
REM  ***** =ExportHSQL("MyQuery";"MyOutput_txt") -- Run with given Query,
given Output File Name, default Headers and DB Name
REM  ***** =ExportHSQL("MyQuery";;;"MyDBName") -- Run with given Query,
default Output File Name, default Headers, given DB Name
REM  ***** =ExportHSQL("AllTables")  -- For all tables in DB, default
output file, default Headers and DB Name
REM  ***** =ExportHSQL("AllTables";;"Headers-No")  -- For all tables in DB,
default output file, Headers No and default DB Name
REM  ***** =ExportHSQL("AllTables";;"Headers-No";"MyDBName")  -- For all
tables in DB, default output file, Headers No and given DB Name
REM  ***** =ExportHSQL("AllTables";;"Headers-Yes";"MyDBName")  -- For all
tables in DB, default output file, Headers Yes and given DB Name

In the code you can find a link to the original code:
viewtopic.php?f=13&t=26843&p=122081&hil ... ES#p122081
You can read that the code is for using as calc functions not for buttons.

[AfTech54]

Thanks Tibor!
Strange because last time I used it with the button was in January 2023 and then both buttons worked fine. So something must have happened.
I'm using Base to record all our photos and movies with for instance persons, places and time. The form allow me to search specific photos then I extrude the filenames in the csv-file with the button and it have really worked for me several years. I can't remind me of that I've done any updates to the macros or the Base, but I'm an old man so I might have forgot it
Well I can still execute the macro outside the form, so I probably hav to live with that if I can't find any solution.
Thanks again and best regards.

Choose the highest security level.
Specify your document folder as trusted source. This is the place where you store documents with embedded macros.
Do not specify the downloads folder because this is the place where potentially untrusted stuff is stored by default.

The global macros you have installed in your user profile (under "My Macros") are trusted anyway. The security level relates to the macros that are embedded in documents.
If you upgrade from OpenOffice to LibreOffice, any document trying to call any macro needs to be stored in a trusted directory, even if the document has no code embedded.

[AfTech54]

Hi and thanks Villeroy!

I've tried it before, did it again and restarted the laptop. Buttons still not executing the macros.
I've attached some more screenshots if that might help.

I've the same problem on my laptop as well as on the stationary computer.
I'm using Windows 10 and OOO 4.1.15 on both 64b comp.
I'm storing my "Base-doc" on Onedrive and simultaneously on a local HD on both computers.

Could it be Windows that is not allowing macros??
I tried to find something to alter in Windows settings regarding macros but I didn't find any.

//Roger

[AfTech54]

I tried to add a shortcut command ctrl+H to one of the macros and that didn't work either.
So I think it might be a bug??
Could somebody try if it's possible to execute a macro within a document with OO v.4.1.15.

[AfTech54]

THANKS Villeroy!!

Well it took sometime for this old man to understand what you ment, I set the documents folder to a trusted folder and now it works!
