Spreadsheets that are accessed directly as datasources are read only (they always have been, AFAIK, ever since the early StarOffice days). In other words, even if you manage to bind that datasource to a form, you can only ever read from it (and not enter new data). It was my (mis)understanding that you had used a Calc spreadsheet to convert your spreadsheet data to a Base ODB file (using the hsqldb or some other db engine). The aim of my reply was to show you how one can define the data source for a form. An alternative would be to craft a spreadsheet so that it looks like a database form, e.g. by using coloured cells, dropdown lists, etc, but this would be a poor man's alternative.
