Hi,

I'm trying to generate a simple form that allows you to set a value in a
referenced table that may or may not have referencing fields. If queries
would allow data editing this would be simple, but this appears to be a
feature/limitation/bug. Here's a simple example:

Table1: Main
Field 1: MainID (this is the main index)
Field 2: Name

Table2: PrintList
Field 1: MainID (this the index for this table)
Field 2: ReferenceID
Field 3: Print (this is a boolean field)

Now I have lots of records in Main and I want to query all the records from
Main an those from Printlist where MainID match. PrintList starts out
basically empty. I want to have form that I can now go through all of Main
and select items to add to the PrintList. When I select it would add the
record if it does not exist. This is a simple query to build either native
or not but OOo makes all queries readonly. I have fooled around with
subforms with no success. Any suggestions?

Note I'm using Postgresql on the backend.

p.s. Is there a roadmap to fixing query problem (i.e. making them editable)?

thanks,
