You guys are terrific. Thanks for your help!

The reason I went to the macros was because I was looking for a
repository within LOBase for a number of SQL sequences (e.g. UPDATE tbl
SET Col WHERE expr) that a would want to execute from time to time. A
macro seemed to be the only possibility. What else could you suggest?

(It's a rather trivial requirement actually and using a macro could
become a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Collecting my SQL statements into
a text file somewhere in the bowels of my machine to be called up with
cut and paste struck me as a bit primitive and inelegant).

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.

but then this seems to imply otherwise

Sorry, not much help :-(

 Thanks. Not sure I can understand how that should work...hmmm

I based my syntax on the example here

Where can I find the syntax of the DoCmd.RunSQL command to be
used
with a LOBase Macro in Basic?

I've never heard of the command, but google suggests

https://docs.libreoffice.org/wizards/html/classaccess2base_1_1DoCmd.html#a3c1b223e5e4024f2a8b955b2df3b6f92

I've no idea whether it is correct/relevant.

My assumption was 
X = "SQL string"
DoCmD.RunSQL X
