Access2Base
VBA for MSAccess emulator
latest release: 2023-05-26 07:43:29
Description
Access2Base is a standard feature of LibreOffice. The 1.9.0 version (= last available version of the extension) is pre-installed in LibreOffice 6.1.
Later LibreOffice releases (6.2 ... 7.0) embed Access2Base fresher releases (6.2.0 ... 7.0.0). The latter Access2Base versions are not available as extensions anymore and never will.
Download this software only if your LibreOffice version is <= 6.0.
This extension implements a LibO/AOO Basic library for Base applications.
The API is entirely inspired by VBA for MSAccess and its object model.
As such it is a tool helping people either to migrate their Access databases to Base OR to write code as if it was VBA OR to write their first macros.
It is much more intuitive and easy to learn than the standard UNO API. It is documented (online) in detail.
Version 1.9.0 was uploaded to this site on 11-Aug-2018.
The implemented macros include (among a huge list of functionalities):
- forms, dialogs and controls manipulations derived from the MSAccess object model
- an API for database access with the table, query, recordset and field objects
- actions with a syntax identical to their corresponding MSAccess macros/actions
- the DLookup, DSum, ... database functions
- the support of the shortcut notations like Forms!myForm!myControl
- a consistent errors and exceptions handler
- facilities for management of form and control events
The macros using the API may be stored both in Database documents (".odb" files) and in standalone (Writer/Calc/...) forms.
It is even possible to access data from Calc cell formulas.
DOWNLOADABLE EXAMPLES HERE ...
(Only to have a first idea ...) Compare Access2Base with MSAccess VBA
LibreOffice Base with Access2Base
REM Open a form ...
DoCmd.OpenForm("myForm")
REM Move a form to new left-top coordinates ...
Dim ofForm As Object
Set ofForm = Forms("myForm")
ofForm.Move(100, 200)
REM Get the value of a control ...
Dim ocControl As Object
ocControl = ofForm.Controls("myControl")
MsgBox ocControl.Value
REM Hide a control ...
ocControl.Visible = False
REM ... or alternatively ...
setValue("Forms!myForm!myControl.Visible", False) ' Shortcut notation' in VBA => Forms!myForm!myControl.Visible = False

Help! I have 100s of *.db files created with Paradox that I need to convert to Excel files. I thought I used to be able to do this with LibreOffice...but no more. Does one of these extensions allow me to do this?
Mulwa Ndau Mar 23, 2022, 6:04 PM (3 years ago)
Hey Kinsey,
Have you tried opening the .db files using SQLite DB. Could be a helpful option. It's opensource and once you open them you can export to .csv format.However, you'll have to come with some good file organization to work with the multi-dimensional data i a spreadsheet.
It will be quite a task working on 100s of files though! Luck to you!
