Hi Tod,

I asked the same question about 5 or 6 years ago in an Open Office forum, and didn't receive an answer. I'll be very interested to see if anyone here has a suggestion.

Off hand, the only way I know to do that is to

1. write a macro that is able to open a form

2. Assign the macro to run on a document open event.

There may be another way, but not of which I am aware.

There is/was an extension that provided a similar, if not identical
"button press entry/menu page" - can't remember what it was called now,
or whether it works with current versions of LibreOffice.

After a quick Google, I think this was it :

Now that makes a lot of sense. I'll see if I can get that to work.
