ThunderbirdPortable addressbook in OpenOffice

Submitted by tedre on December 16, 2006 - 5:18pm

Hi,

I want to write a letter to many people in my Thunderbird addressbook. I use Thunderbird Portable. When I call the Thunderbird addressbook with OO-Base it integrets the addressbook from a profil from the maschine where I actually work. I want OpenOffice to ask me where the addressbook is located I want to integred. It ist located on my portable hard drive.

If I try it on a computer without Thunderbird, OO say there isn't a Thunderbird addressbook. But it is on my hard drive.

Thanks for your help.

Macro problem in OOP spreadsheet

Submitted by AndySmith on December 9, 2006 - 10:30am

I've imported a number of Excel spreadsheets into OOP and find they work well, with one exception. My combo-boxes and radio buttons show through cell comments (notes in OOP). It's as if the macros are always on top.

I've tried different formating of both cells and macro buttons, but I can't seem to bring cell comments to the foreground. Any ideas?

launch from U3

Submitted by BonnSotto on December 9, 2006 - 3:54am

I just downloaded the openoffice suite. It's a great program even though I've used it for only a little bit. The thumbdrive I'm using has a U3 launcher. Can I directly access the openoffice programs from the U3 launcher? I tried using the manage program but I can't seem to move the openoffice programs at start up.

Thanks in advance,
Bonn

Cannot load any OpenOffice apps

Submitted by tbok on November 30, 2006 - 11:57am

I have installed the full portable apps suite in the root of a 1Gb USB drive, and Firefox and Sunbird both work OK, but I get nothing at all from any of the OO apps. I have tried to monitor what happens via Process Explorer (from Sysinternals) but all I can see is that the process starts, then crashrep runs, then it all shuts down.

Does anyone have any idea what might be going wrong, or how I might diagnose the problem?

Thanks.
