There are three possible reasons (counting the frequent ones only :): - OOo requires a table (or, more specifically, the data in a row set) to contain a primary key or a a unique index in order to allow data manipulation. Alternatively, it suffices if the driver supports bookmarks (like some ODBC drivers or the internal dBase implementation do). The reason for this is that this is the only secure way to ensure that the changes you do affect the proper record (in case of updates), resp. that you, later on, can work with your newly inserted record. - You are using a spreadsheet, a text (CSV/TXT), or an address data source. All of these are not yet writable. It's not a bug, it's a missing feature. - OOo asks the database (in reality its the databases driver) for the privileges (if any) the current user has for the table you want to access. If the driver doesn't report that you have INSERT/UPDATE permissions, then the respective functionality is disabled in OOo. There are various drivers out there (for various databases, most often reported is MySQL) which handle the permissions improperly, and return wrong or too few privileges. Please try the latest possible driver for your database. > ciao, > > der.hans > -- > # http://www.LuftHans.com/ http://www.LuftHans.com/Classes/ > # ABLEconf - 2011Apr02 - CfP 2010Jan22 - Free Software for Free Enterprise > # "The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education." > # -- Albert Einstein > > Reference: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/FAQ_%28Base%29 -- (503) 754-4452 (623) 688-3392 http://www.obnosis.com
