If VBA is the language that stands behind MS Office applications and allows automation and customization of such package, what’s the language -if any- behind the Open Office suite?. In other words, how can Oppen Office be given the power of MS’s VBA?. Thanks in advance.

Hi there

A lot of open source applications use C++ and they are able to interface with VB etc using DLL files.

Try the OpenOffice forum. Their almost as good as Woody’s and you’ll see lots of help on starbasic and other scripting language you can use.

When last I checked, the StarOffice / OpenOffice.org macro language was named StarBasic or OOBasic. However, perusing the developer documentation it appeared that the “real” programming language of choice was Java.
