Abstract
OpenOffice.org Base, unlike the other OpenOffice.org applications, is currently not able to embed macros and scripts into its documents. We will empower Base users to use macros and scripts (StarBasic, JavaScript, BeanShell, Python) in their database documents the very same way they can use them in all other application's documents.
Detailed Specification
Help | User Interface Element Templates
Accessing Macros and Scripts
- Macro and Script Organizers (Template:Menuitem) will show opened database documents, and allow editing/creating macros/scripts therein.
- The Basic IDE will treat macros in database documents the very same way as macros in other application's documents.
- The Macro Selector (Template:Menuitem) will show opened database documents, and allow to run them.
- The UI customization dialog (Template:Menuitem) will allow access to the current database document's macros and scripts, when invoked for this document.
- For the moment, it will not be possible to sign macros embedded in database documents. This is up to a later step.
- macro recording will not be possible in database documents. This is a separate topic, which requires implementations in a completely different area.
Database Document Macros vs. Macros in Embedded Documents.

Milestones
Definition and Timeline
The development of this feature will produce the following milestones:
| Milestone | Due | |
| M1 | embedding/organizing/running macros/scripts works | t.b.d. |
| M2 | sub documents cannot contain macros/scripts anymore, old documents which still do are handled appropriately | t.b.d. |
| M3 | Assigning macros to database document events (Template:Menuitem) works. For instance, it is possible to assign a macro to the OnLoad event of an DB document itself. |
t.b.d. |
| M4 | TODO | t.b.d. |
| M5 | TODO | t.b.d. |
