Hi Swarup, ROFL - that again! ( sorry nothing to do with you, it is just a question that gets asked A LOT!!! in the forum )
That is an artifact of the decision to base the embedded Base forms on Writer documents. That is telling you the 'document' is read only - in other words you can not move the controls around or edit their properties. The data link is not read only - well, unless of course it is...*smile*..in that case certain of the buttons on the data navigator bar would be disabled. Think of it as a feature. If it is a feature you do not like, then changing the title of the form, so as not to display that and perhaps to display something more useful is actually quite easily done, with 3 lines of Basic. ( maybe it is 5 ) I'll grab the code and put it up here - with a simple description of how to use it. I won't be long - just have to pull it out of a backup file - long story about installing Community Version of Solaris on the second hard disk of a HP PC....arrrgh...that has no place here...arrrgh...
