| Book Source Code | Zipped file with the entire book source code |
| Data Import Wizard Extension | Data Import Wizard found in chapter 14 bundled as an extension. This was put together using the Basic Add-On Builder extension. |
| DB Doc Shortcut. | This is a brief extension that creates a desktop shortcut for database documents such as forms and reports. This makes it ideal for situations in which you do not want the user to open the database in order to navigate to a form. This was also put together with the BasicAddon extension. |
| BaseShell | I experienced some errors with OpenOffice.org 2.4.1 and socket connections. I changed the BaseShell.py module to connect with a pipe. |
| JavaScript & Base Forms | This is an experiment most of all, which uses Javascript to connect to Base as well as modify data; also a few objects that bind an HTML form to Base. Unzip the file to view a brief documentation as well as the js library and a demo file. This is my first attempt at binding an HTML form to a Base database, so be gentle. Time permiting I will look into Dojo, and see if I can extend it to handle OOo. --Enjoy |
| Base Switchboard Extension |
This is a switchboard (Menu) generator. Menues can be grouped into categories, and menu entries (forms and reports) can reside in the local database or an external database. I will post a quick guide soon.
