Created attachment 130915 [details] Spreadsheet with Basic macros as link between DDE source and biblio.dbf With StarBasic in OpenOffice I can prepare a statement like this ... INSERT INTO "Table" ("A","B","C") VALUES (?,?,?) ... and it works with HSQL and dBase at least. With StarBasic in LibreOffice I can do the same without errors but it does strange things to my dBase table. The new rows appear blank and they appear on top of the table grid. I attach 2 spreadsheets from a little project of mine. One spreadsheet serves as DDE source, the other one catches the DDE and stores it to a database. I've prepared it to use the built-in Bibliography which is stored in a dBase table. 1) Make a BACKUP of your <profile>/user/database/biblio/biblio.dbf. It will be harmed. 2) Save the 2 spreadsheets in the same directory with macros enabled. 3) Open them both. An auto-open macro will adjust the DDE Topic in cell B3. 3a) My own issue: menu:Edit>Links... break all links and do a hard recalculation [Ctrl+Shif+F9 or reload]. Now the link should be established. 4) Activate Biblio_LO_Issue.ods, click the start button on the custom tool bar, confirm the start message, activate the source document and hit F9 to send new DDE data. 5) Wait some 3 seconds for data arrive in Biblio_LO_Issue.ods and hit F9 again. The incoming data should be inserted into your biblio table. 6) Activate the Biblio_LO_Issue and hit the stop button. 7) Open the biblio table in the Bibliography data source. I see blank rows on top of the table which did not exist before and which are difficult to delete. Same problem with a dedicated dBase table. I just mis-used your biblio because it is already there. Restore it from backup after this session. The exact same setup with AOO inserts data into the first 5 text fiedls of bilio.dbf. The exact same setup with LibreOffice HSQLDB (embedded and stand-alone) inserts correct data.
