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.


Best regards Frank Häusler

[users] BASE - Form-Problem

[Frank Häusler]

Hello !

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 did not set any option in the wizard that the data is for read only 
use. The database-file and the spreadsheet-file are not write-protected 
and I have full write-access through the filesystem to them.


I'm using OOO 2.4.0 ; Windoze XP 64

Has anyone any idea ?? You are welcome.

Best regards

[users] Copy and Paste Question / Problem

[Frank Häusler]

Hello !

I'm using Firefox as e-mail client.
Since I used OOO 2.0.1 it was nice when I copied a cell-area containing 
text and numbers from CALC into a new email in Firefox, that the pasted 
cells where formatted in HTML, therfore all attributes like cell-color 
etc. where accessible in the e-mail to edit or change.


Now the Problem:
Since I use OOO 2.3.1 or 2.4.0 this does not function anymore. Now there 
is only the raw content of the cells in my e-mail and I have to fiddle 
around with whitespaces to format the the Text from the cells - don't 
speaking from the color attributes.
Even when copying within a spreadsheet only the _raw_ data without 
stylographic formatting like 'bold' is pasted into the target-area.


What has changed ???

Best regards

Frank Häusler
