Is there a way to allow Writer only to have read permission?
Well - yes, make a read only result set. Using any version of Base you
can create a VIEW from your query and this will always be a read only
result set. The down side for versions prior to 2.4 is that VIEWS can
not be edited, only created and deleted. Starting with 2.4 however you
you can edit them.
So from the main Base window switch to your Query view. Highlight the
query and right click for the context menu, select 'Create View' and
save it. In the Beamer window of Writer select the VIEW instead of the
query - there is no way you can alter or delete the data at at this point.
When you go to use the query again, but with a new criteria string you
will need to either delete the views before you use it again, or create
the new view with a different name.
Views are listed with the Tables in the Base window and the Beamer
window by the way - but have a slightly different icon.
