Re: [libreoffice-users] Is there a way for a Basic macro to detect what application is running it?

Hi to all,

the most simple approach to distinguish the different behavior is to use 
an error handler.

In the latest version of my translation of Andrew Pitonyak's OOME I give 
an example (see pp. 605-609). Andrew has changed his example to just 
handle LO alone.

Have a look at https://www.uni-due.de/~abi070/ooo.html

Greetings
Volker
