Installing macros issues

Hi,

I have a odt document which has two macro libraries one for all the utilities I want to implement and one for installing the utility macros as menu bar items.

I am using action button to run macros to install a tool bar in the openoffice menu and some action related to the switches.

It was working fine earlier. Now the problem is macro is installing the menu bar properly but all the sub macros related to the items are not being copied.

Any suggestions are appreciated

Regards,
Newlearner

Nothing changed that's the problem.

I wanted to add more utilities so ran the installation again. The macro installs the menu bar but all corresponding macros that are run are not being copied into "MyMacros" of openoffice.

Thank you all for the responses. I got the issue fixed.

The solution is kind of weird and I am not sure if its the exact reason.
Its a space issue. A particular module in a Library only lets me write certain number of lines for different macros, once I cross it its not copying the macros over when its installing my tool bar. But when I divided my macros into two different modules in a library and changed my installation references all the macros got copied over.

Anyway its working.
Surprised

FYI:

The module character limitation is fixed in OpenOffice 3.2 and higher.

Versions 2.4 and lower did not have a limit. Everything in between did.
