Re: [libreoffice-users] Basic Macros with Base

I have a guess since I was not previously aware of this method. 

There is precedence for LO adding support for Microsoft Office (MSO) compatibility. I am guessing 
that this method was added for MSO compatibility with MS Access (but that is just a guess). I would 
assume, therefore, that it should act similarly to how the method work in MS Access (again a 
guess). 

When I really want to know, I pull the code and then I go looking for the method in the code to see 
what it does. 

Also, if it immediately registers as an error, then you might need to turn on compatibility mode. 

Well, that is what I thought until I googled a bit

This implies that the command is based on an extension rather than directly supported by LO.

https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/access2base
https://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/access2base-api-base-users
https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/syntax-form-controls-base/45282

but then this seems to imply otherwise

Sorry, not much help :-(
