It would be great if it could.

Does OO have the same User Form building abilities as Excel?

Well, I can see the source code, and the Form itself,
and I can move/drag/edit the buttons and placements on the form, and I
can see what looks like all the sources.

But the chatter on actually using this with DLLs, seems ominously
quiet.. it does not like the DLL syntax, and examples were not easy to
find...

Could be worth starting with something very simple,
proof-of-pathway stuff, or you could look at Lazarus/fpc, which can
also build command line versions ?

I found an all important working example.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/realterm/files/
http://realterm.sourceforge.net/

This needs a dll downloaded from
http://www.i2cchip.com/digital_display_module.html#I2CHelper DLL

and win registered, and then the Basic Code from Open Office Seems to
do what it should.

Should make a good starting point ?

It could but I'm so busy with client work I just don't have the
time to investigate.

I've had the assembled PCBs and enclosures for this production run for
over six months, I've just had so much else on that I haven't been
able to 'launch' it until now.

I'm afraid that for the forseeable future Excel is all that I will be
supporting. I'll publish as much information as I can to let people
use other interface languages/techniques but I can't support it.
