Error when calling macro

Hi,

I have a macro that I created using OpenOffice 2.0. I've now copied that macro to a box running 1.1.3 on Debian. I'm running OpenOffice through Xvfb and it just hangs everytime I run the openoffice with the macro.

I took a screen dump from Xvfb when openoffice started and this is the error I'm getting:

Error loading BASIC of document:
file:///var/www/.openoffice/1.1.3/user/basic/Standard/Module1.xba
General Error.
General input/output error.

The macro is running fine on my Ubuntu box with OpenOffice 2 - also through Xvfb...
All permissions are set correctly, the macro does exist and is unchanged from OpenOffice 2.0. Also, I opened a document in OO through Xvfb and took a screenshot and the document had opned fine... it's just something to do with the macro's but I don;t know what.

Could this be a compatibility problem with macros between 1.1.3 and 2.0?

I appreciate any help.

Regards,
Robert Hofmeyr

There is a section on this in the User Guide: http://documentation.openoffice.org./manuals/OOo2.x/user_guide2_draft.pdf

There have been many such reports, especially on Setup and Troubleshooting. It's a chronic problem and there was (is?) a FAQ, which I can't find.

Hi noranthon,

According to the user guide, you need to write over dialog.xlc and script.xlc with the origional files but this results in OOo not recognizing the macro I copied.

Do you have any other advice to fix this?
