The only reference, I found to DoCmd in the LO Base Guide 7.3 is on
page 504 (Special commands), i.e. rather brief ("To name a few").As the employed syntax compiles in LOBase without error, I assume it is correct as described below, so far. So I'm looking for a better explanation for the behaviour. By the way, I am running Version: 7.3.4.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 30(Build:2) CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 5.14; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI: en-GB Calc: threaded LO Base is my front end toward a Mariadb (V10) as backend database server system.
