Hmm, can't find one in the Basic online help, either. Not sure this means it doesn't exist. I could imagine a Java extension doing this (it's surely possible to have some timed trigger in Java) - would this be an option for you? Perhaps having a Basic macro bound to the global "Open document" event, which checks whether a newly opened doc is a DB doc, and in this case, creates an instance of a Java UNO service (implemented in an extension), which does the "touching". This approach would prevent loading Java with the first opened doc, it would delay this to when its really needed. Alternatively, asking a Basic mailing list for such a function might give an answer. (Hmm, we don't have a dedicated Basic mailing list, AFAIK. d...@ooo?)
