Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: [Base Database] How to open a particular form at startup ?

Hi,

I have a macro similar to neptuneuk's that Alex pointed to, but I go one
step further.

I run Windows 7 64 bit.  I right click on my project's .odb file, click on
'Send to' and then on 'Desktop (create shortcut)'.  Then I can simply
double click on the shortcut to go directly into my Main Menu form.

Sometimes, usually if I have just started my PC, it's a bit slow and
LibreOffice's initial menu appears for a few seconds before the Menu form
is displayed.  But once the machine has warmed up, double clicking on the
shortcut displays the Menu almost immediately.   I have found this is
simpler for my users.   It also keeps them away from the underlying LO menu
and prevents them being confused by a screen that they don't need to be
concerned about!

I have several such shortcuts on my desktop and find the them faster than
opening LibreOffice and going through several steps to select the .odb file
I want to open.

Don't know how well this would work on other operating systems, but it
works well for me.

Noel
