I created a simple database from an excel-sheet.
Now I created a form with the wizard ==> ok.
When I double-click the form to use it for data entry it does not work.
The opened Writer-Document shows in the title-bar the name I gave to
the form and the additional text "(schreibgeschützt)" english: "(read
only)".
I don't think this is a problem. The "read-only" attribute applies, I
think, to the *format* of the form, not its contents. It prevents the
user changing the appearance or layout of the form, but it doesn't
prevent the insertion of data and its saving to tables in the database.
I don't suppose anyone can help you if all you say is that entering
data "does not work".
Hello Frank, Brian
Well, the bottom line is simply this. Base files that use spreadsheet
data for the data source are read only. It has nothing to do with the
use of a form - just opening a table object in this Base file would
render a read only result set also.
What Brian describes regarding the 'Read-only-ness' of the form is
absolutely correct but, as I say, in this specific case of not relevant.
