Screenshot of read-only form created by form wizard from editable table
. . if i understand you right, you open the form with a doubleclick? then it is in 'insert' view - if you make a right-click (open kontext) on your form and choose 'edit', you open your form in edit view - does this fix you problem? No. What happened was: I created the form from my database, using the wizard. This task is part of TCM, that's why there are so many steps and checking in it. As you can see from the steps, there is no double-clicking. There is no form to start with. You have a database open, which you have been editing. You choose the Table icon. Then you choose to create the table, using the Wizard. You go through the steps described, copying all the fields over to your form, choosing the second arrange pattern, choosing "work with this form", entering a native-language filename, and that's it! But when your form opens automatically, when you close the wizard, the form titlebar says "read-only". But I didn't choose anything about read-only. Why is this form read-only? I hope that explains it better for you. :) The TCM test number is quoted in the original issue item, as are all the steps from it. It is a standard release-checking task. But I don't think it is supposed to create a read-only form. Is it? The "readonly" in the title is misleading. In fact, this only applies to the *text document* which contstitutes the form, but not to the data which you are about to edit with the form. There is an issue for this usuability thing, but I can't find it ATM. Have the same problem. Tested with OO 2.2.1 RC2 on Linux and OO 2.2 on Win XP. Can update tables directly but forms created from these tables are always read-only. Cannot updated data using the form. The "add new record" button is inactive and if any data is added/changed in an existing record it is not accepted. Also noticed that while I am working on the database a file "mydatabasename".odb.lck is created in the directory where my database file is stored. Disappears when I close the database. No idea where this comes from but looks like it might be part of the problem. please, give us also a screenshot or is it the same as clytie's screenshot shows. There you can see that you can change the data not the form design. ' I guess it was power of suggestion and bad eyesight. Been playing with this for number of weeks. Obviously missed the "added new record" triangle. But after reading comments went back and tried more carefully. And, yes it does work. Apologies. as viccannost said set to worksforme . |
