Hi there,

Yes it is. You may need to learn how to implement macros to do so. Have a look around for some of the basic tutes. For opening another form, here are some starters for you....

This is the code you need. I did not create it myself, I collected it from a forum. The only thing you need to change is YOUR_FORM_NAME in the last line, which you change for the name of the form you wish to open.
You could also change the last line for this one to open a report instead of a form.

NewReportDoc=DBDoc.ReportDocuments.loadComponentFromURL("YOUR_REPORT_NAME","_blank",0,Args())

THE CODE YOU NEED:

Sub OpenForm(Event As Object)
Dim Form As Object
Dim FormDoc AS Object
Dim FormCollection As Object
Dim DBDoc As Object
Dim NewFormDoc As Object
Dim Args(2) As New com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue

Form=Event.Source.Model.Parent
FormCollection=Form.Parent
FormDoc=FormCollection.Parent
DBDoc=FormDoc.Parent

Args(0).Name="ActiveConnection"
Args(0).Value=Form.ActiveConnection
Args(1).Name="OpenMode"
Args(1).Value="open"
NewFormDoc=DBDoc.FormDocuments.loadComponentFromURL("YOUR_FORM_NAME","_blank",0,Args())

End Sub
