# Access2Base

## What is Access2Base?

Access2Base osnovna je biblioteka makronaredbi u LibreOfficeu za (profesionalne i privatne) developere i napredne korisnike te jedna od biblioteka u "LibreOffice makronaredbe i dijalozi".

The functionalities provided by the implemented macros are all directly inspired by Microsoft Access. The macros are callable mainly from a LibreOffice Base application, but also from any LibreOffice document (Writer, Calc, ...) where access to data stored in a database makes sense.

API kojeg pruža Access2Base treba biti sažeto, intuitivno i lakše za savladavati u odnosu na standardni UNO API (API = Aplikacijsko programsko sučelje).

The library is documented online on http://www.access2base.com.

## Implementirane makronaredbe uključuju:

1. a simplified and extensible API for forms, dialogs and controls manipulations similar with the Microsoft Access object model,

2. an API for database access with the table, query, recordset and field objects,

3. a number of actions with a syntax identical to their corresponding Microsoft Access macros/actions,

4. the DLookup, DSum, ... database functions,

5. podrška za stvaranje bilješki poput Obrasci!mojObrazac!mojaKontrola

in addition

6. a consistent errors and exceptions handler,

7. facilities for programming form, dialog and control events and

8. the support of both embedded forms and standalone (Writer) forms.

## Compare Access2Base with Microsoft Access VBA

    REM Open a form ...

              OpenForm("myForm")

    REM Move a form to new left-top coordinates ...

              Dim ofForm As Object  ' In VBA =>  Dim ofForm As Form

              Set ofForm = Forms("myForm")

              ofForm.Move(100, 200)

    REM Get the value of a control ...

              Dim ocControl As Object

              ocControl = ofForm.Controls("myControl")

              MsgBox ocControl.Value

    REM Hide a control ...

              ocControl.Visible = False

    REM ... or alternatively ...

              setValue("Forms!myForm!myControl.Visible", False)  '  Shortcut notation

              ' In VBA =>  Forms!myForm!myControl.Visible = False
