Access2Base

Kas ir Access2Base?

Access2Base is a LibreOfficeDev BASIC library of macros for (business or personal) application developers and advanced users. It is one of the libraries stored in "Application macros and dialogs".

The functionalities provided by the implemented macros are all directly inspired by Microsoft Access. The macros are callable mainly from a LibreOfficeDev Base application, but also from any LibreOfficeDev document (Writer, Calc, ...) where access to data stored in a database makes sense.

The API provided by Access2Base is intended to be more concise, intuitive and easy to learn than the standard UNO API (API = Application Programming Interface).

The library is documented online on http://www.access2base.com.
