Hello Gert, I'm answering your mail in [email protected], which is the better place for this kind of questions. This is a matter of scaling (more people than me could answer), and a matter of sharing knowledge (more people than you might benefit from the answer).
Please also reply to this mailing list. You can subscribe to it at http://dba.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectMailingListList, or read it via the mail/news-gateway at news.gmane.org. In general, a form, when you double-click it, always reads "readonly" in its title. That's a known issue, the readonly here refers to the "document" as such - you cannot insert new controls or something like that -, not to the database data which is shown/edited with the form document. So, please first make sure it's not only the title which is confusing you :) Then, is the problem only related to forms, or also to the underlying table, if you open this table directly? In general, OpenOffice.org can only update tables if they have a unique index, or a primary key defined, see http://dba.openoffice.org/FAQ/FAQ.html#dataupdate for more information. Other than this - hmm, no idea without more information.
