Alternate Method of Error Handling when Developing Basic Macros?

users
#1

Is there some way to redirect the output of errors to a logger instead of the
standard popup dialog box when editing macros?

This runs really slow on my virtual machine.

Thank you,

Look up "Err function" in the Basic section of the F1-help index.

Can this be enabled for an entire script instead of just for a single
function or sub?

As far as I know this is not possible in Basic which has no reasoable error handling. You can not even call another error handling routine.

Okay....thanks! :slight_smile:

If you are using StarBasic, checkout section "3.10. Error handling using On Error" in this document: http://www.pitonyak.org/OOME_3_0.odt

If you use the on error mechanism, it will call that error handling routine even if the error occurs in a different subroutine or function.

Oh, and no, the referenced document is not finished.

I have tried to install Libre Office 3.5 multiple times on my Windows 7 64-bit machine. When I start the install, a message comes up saying to Close LibreOffice Quickstarter 3.5. Nothing else is open. When I click OK. I get a message that the install was interrupted with no choice but to End.

I have Open Office on my computer. Could something about Open Office be interfering with the LibreOffice install?

I have both OO and LO installed on a Windows 7 system. Did you close the Quickstarter?

Hi :slight_smile:
Hopefully this guide might be useful
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel
I'm not sure how useful it is for Windows.

Yes, OpenOffice does sound like it's interfering.  I think if you open up OpenOffice and go to

Tools - Options - Memory

and switch off the option at the bottom so that OpenOffice doesn't start-up when Windows starts-up but the guide probably goes into more detail.
Good luck, welcome in and regards from

Hi Emily :<)
OpenOffice probably is listed in the windows startup list. You can change this by
(as administrator) click on the startup icon and in the run box entering msconfig.
Go to the startup tab and delete OpenOffice.

Please, when you have a new subject, don't hijack an existing thread. Many mail
programs use thread information contained in the headers, NOT the subject. If your
mail program shows threads you will observe that your message is in the middle
of a thread about "Alternate Method of Error Handling when Developing Basic Macros?".
Just changing the subject doesn't start a new thread.

This would help you have a better chance of getting a good answer as more people
would see the subject where they skip over threads (with your message in the
midst) that don't interest them.

Hi all,

How many people experience this problem:
https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50464
And of course what can we do about it? This problem is quite
persistent in my experience on different systems and on IRC I saw more
people complaining about it. Does someone have a solution or a
plan/initiative to work on a fix for this?

Thanks,
Kees

Hi :slight_smile:
Uninstalling OpenOffice, Symphony, Go-oo, Star Office, NeoOffice or other forks of the original StarOffice/OpenOffice is a good way to avoid conflicts but the guide on how to install 2 versions of LibreOffice should help you be able to keep those and just install LibreOffice alongside the existing ones.

Of course we don't have the same problem with Caligra/KOffice, MS Office, Gnome Office or Google-docs because they don't share the same origins so you can have any or all those quite happily alongside LO with no problems.

Not sure. Perhaps if you start your own thread rather than merely
changing the subject line of the original thread:
In-Reply-To: <4FC5CA1A.8050808@pmgroup.be>
you'll get a response. Please start with a *new* email & subject
rather than hijacking an existing thread.

Thanks to everyone who replied. I took Open Office out of startup, and LibreOffice installed without a hitch.

A fix for what? You are the one and only person who struggles with this and you refuse to reset your user profile. Quite often unspecific problems can be cured by a simple profile reset.

There have been reports about the skype program interfering with spreadsheet clipboards (Excel and Calc).
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=53983&p=235714&hilit=skype+excel#p235714
Other reports describe similar problems related to some 3rd party clipboard manager.

Hi :slight_smile:
Nicely done :slight_smile:

You might find that when you have a document open using 1 program you wont be able to open another program with the other although you can have multiple files open with either one as long as you stick to using the same one for each file.  If all files are closed you can choose which program to open with by right-clicking on the file and then something like

"Open with ..."

Good luck, congrats and regards from
