Libre Office Base; Opens reports in read-only

LibreOffice Base opens reports automatically in read-only mode. I've looked everywhere to find how to make sure it doesn't opens reports in read-only mode.

Does anyone knows how to make sure that LibreOffice Base won't open reports in read-only mode?

Thank you for your time!

As suggested here by redN00ws, this worked for me:

Have you tried 'Format' > 'Sections' ? Then select the Section (eg. Section1) with 'Write Protection' activated and deactivate it. Now it should be editable.

In the version I'm using (5.0.5) there's an info bar at the top of the created document:

This document has been opened read-only.                                               Edit Document

Just do a SAVE AS for your read-only report file. And then open the resulting .odt document. It will be editable.
