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". One possibility, of course, is that the combination of
fields that you have included in the form prevents you from adding
essential data. If, for example, you have a field that is marked as
"Entry required" but it does not appear in the form, then you will not
be able to enter new records. This applies in particular to the primary
key; you can avoid the problem in that case by setting this to AutoValue.
I trust this helps.

Thank you for your advice. Because I created the form using the
form-wizard, I made no special definitions for the fields by myself.
I used to define the type of form regarding the possibility to input
data the second option on STEP 6 ("The form shows existing data") with
no suboption of this item checked.
Entering Data does not work, because nothing you type in appears in the
field. You can only set the cursor into the different datafields - thats
it. I can walk through all the records, but the button to add a new
record is diabled. So I can only watch the records.
Anothe point is, that searching does not work too. Even within a record
you can not find some text.
Therefore I'm only wondering what sense the form-wizard has, when it
produces only useless forms.
