Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base/Firebird Queries broken

Also - if you would prefer you can make this fix with a small basic macro.

If you would rather go that way here is what you do.

Open the Base file in Libreoffice.
From the menu select:  Tools -> Macros -> Organize Dialogs.
On the Organize Dialogs dialog select the 'Libraries' tab.
On this tab there is a drop down list for 'Location'
Pull that down and you will see your ODB file listed, select it.
Click on the button 'New'
Default name should be 'Library1', choose that DO NOT PUT THIS CODE IN THE
STANDARD LIBARARY
With the basic editor open copy and past the following into the editor

Option Explicit
Sub ensureConnection()
Dim DBDocUI as Object
on error resume next
DBDocUI = ThisDatabaseDocument.currentController
if not DBDocUI.isConnected then
DBDocUI.connect
end if
on error goto 0
End Sub

Sub Main
ensureConnection()
ThisDatabaseDocument.DataSource.Settings.ParameterNameSubstitution = true
End Sub

Execute the macro - the property will be updated.

Now you can remove the 'Library 1' basic library you added, it is no longer
needed.

PS the reason for not updating the standard library is that in Libreoffice
once the Standard library is updated with anything it is difficult to drop
it completely and the file, even if you remove all the code, will form then
on act as if it has embedded macros when it doesn't. If you add a library
with a different name however you can remove it and if standard is also
empty at that time it is also removed and the file will open without the
embedded macro complaint.
