Hi Gert, > Regularly, when I open a database in Base, it opens in "Read Only" mode (my > terminology because it really doesn't say so on the screen). > > What happens in this case that all the links in the left top pane of any > Base screen, i.e. Tables, Queries, Forms, etc. are "greyed out". I can see > the tables and when I click on a table name it dumps its content to the > screen, but all links are dead, so I can't create queries, edit tables or > whatever. Hmm. The only idea I have is that you might have used the database somewhere in the other applications (mail merge? Calc's data pilot?), and those did not properly release it. Very rough guess, admittedly. > Sometimes after a while it goes away and the database opens properly and all > features can be used.

Restarting OOo (don't forget to close the quickstarter if you're on Windows, so OOo is *really* re-started) doesn't solve the problem either?
