    <p>Does anyone else have this problem or is my Delphi cursed somehow?</p> <p>I'll have a bunch of forms and files open in tabs in the editor and I'll be typing away and then suddenly everything stops - my .pas file has, seemingly at random, become read-only. </p> <p>Sometimes I can just right-click the tab at the top and uncheck "Read-Only" and continue, but sometimes this option is checked and greyed-out (disabled), meaning I can't uncheck it and I can't make any further edits to the file. This too seems to be random.</p> <p>In the latter case, the only solution is to save the file in question, which works, despite Delphi's assertion that the file is read-only, close its tab in the editor, and re-open it. Not catastrophic, really, but it's starting to become annoying. </p> <p>Could it be that I am hitting a keyboard command combination accidentally to do this or is this a bug in Delphi? </p> <p>I'm in Delphi 2010, Windows 7. Doubt it's anything to do with installed packages, but if anyone wants the list I'll generate it and attach it here.</p>

    1. COI saw this before, and it was related to some errors: Something along the lines "if anything went wrong when trying to save, mark it Read Only to be on the safe side". Maybe it was a problem with your storage (ex: Anti Virus blocking the write at some point because AV software is notoriously dumb), maybe it was a problem with some plugin, maybe it was a problem with the core delphi stuff. I think the concept of making the buffer RO when confrunted with a error is smart, the trouble would be finding the root cause. And of course this is just speculation, I don't really know what's happening.

    2. COAlso it might be related to 3rd party components (the list of installed packages is still irrelevant to the rest of us). Maybe you've got a 3rd party component that FAILS when it's supposed to stream itself to DFM, and that might be the root cause I'm talking about. If this might be the case look for fancy components doing something extraordinarily (requiring the component to register it's own methods for streaming to dfm) because all basic types are streamed by Delphi itself, so little chance of failure.

    3. COAll of this is possible, but I'm still left with uncertainty. It marks the file as RO, but I can still save everything in the project, close down Delphi, and re-open everything as it was saved *after* the file showed as RO. I'm also reluctant to believe it's a probelem with components as it happens always when I am simply typing in code. The only thing which is constantly doing anything when that happens is Error Insight - now that I think about it, it may be a bug there. EI is so screwed anyway I may as well just disable it and see what happens.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
