[Solved] Does the 'Open in Design Mode' tool do anything?

[MikeytheMagnificent]

The 6th icon on the Form Design Toolbar (trysquare in yellow envelope) can be toggled on/off and saved.
But, afaics it makes no difference to anything in Base Forms. Everything just opens/edits as it always did!
Do you know different?? Please reply or comment
Perhaps it does something really useful in Writer or Calc, I just don't know. It not working isn't really un-inventing the wheel is it?
< rmb>edit>myform > works fine and allows simple loopback to < Open in Data Mode >

Nothing important.
It works with stand-alone documents having forms. When you open a document where this option is set, the forms are in edit mode.

Thanx Villeroy, good knowledge, because 'standalone' itself could be a bit important because it could give an outsider access to tinker with your form. The tricky bit would be whether from there they could also tinker with its priveleges [OPDB and FPDB].
I remain unclear whether they could use that to trash the underlying data.
Still, until I first save some standalones.......

is a good place for others to start

Make the form document read-only.
Privileges belong to the database backend.
