Took me three hours or so today to find a sample code for making a button open 
another form.  While I wish not to say this, it does appear that MS VBA is 
far easier and more intuitive to learn than Star Basic, and the MS 
documentation is much better structured and easier to digest....such is the 
dismal state of Star Basic used in Open Office.
