| <h2><a name="background"></a>Background</h2> |
| OpenOffic.org features a database driver which allows access to a |
| variety of address data sources (mozilla address data, Outlook/Outlook |
| Express address data, LDAP data).<br> |
| When accessing the mozilla database, by default the first user profile |
| found is choosen. On systems where more than one profile exists, this |
| may not be what the user wants.<br> |
| <h2><a name="config"></a>Configuration</h2> |
| There is a configuration entry which tells the SDBC driver accessing |
| the address data which profile to use when logging on to mozilla (I use |
| the term "log on" here, because for every access to any of the |
| above-mentioned data types a connection to mozilla, which provides all |
| the data, is necessary).<br> |
| <br> |
| Setting this entry to a mozilla profile name string forces the driver |
| to prefer this profile – if it is existent.<br> |
| <br> |
| This entry is located in the configuration module |
| /org.openoffice.Office.DataAccess. There is a key |
| /DriverSettings/com.sun.star.comp.sdbc.MozabDriver, which stores |
| settings for the SDBC address book driver (the second part of the kay is |
| the it's implementation name).<br> |
| <br> |
| Thereunder, there is a key MozillaPreferences/ProfileName, which is of |
| type string. If this string is a valid mozilla profiles name, this |
| profile is used when logging on to mozilla.<br> |
| <h2><a name="restrictions"></a>Restrictions</h2> |
| As mozilla does not allow to change the profile name of a session while |
| the session is running, after changing the configuration entry |
| OpenOffice.org must be restarted if it already opened a mozilla session |
| – i.e. if you already connected to any of the above-mentioned address |
| data source types. If you did not do this before, your change in the |
| configuration will take effect immediately.<br> |
| <h2><a name="sample"></a>Sample Basic Macro</h2> |
| The following Basic function will change the configuration entry in |
| question to the string passed to it (You can download this macro |
| in the <a href="../downloads/index.html">Tools section</a>): |
