Thank you for your fidelity.

My problem was the opposite before i added this improvement. I lost a lot informations because i hited the Check Box in the List View.

It's not in my mind to implement that, but i had other request on the subject then i will implement for the next release a configuration bit in the Global Preferences to open the databases in "Read/Write mode" or in "Read/Edit mode".

Now, I try to do that in the next version.
Salut,
