Stop the message "This document is open in Read Only mode.....'"

My system info is:

Version: 7.5.5.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build: caf8fe7424262805f223b9a233
Environment: CPU Threads: 4;OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19405
User Interface: UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL:win
Locale: en.GB (en_GB); UI: en-GB
Misc Calc: threaded
Database HSQLDB Embedded

I see that this question has been answered, sort of, in the past on this forum. However my question is really much more simple. When I open a Base Report, a banner appears at the top saying that the document is open in read only mode and giving me the option to ā€˜Edit Document’

Personally I don’t care what mode it’s opening in and I have no need to ever edit them. If I did I would ā€˜Save As’ and edit the saved version.

I simply don’t want that message banner to keep appearing. Is there a way to turn it off, either globally or just for Base Reports? Thanks.

Globally, you can disable the Infobar display option for documents opened in ReadOnly mode.
Try Menu / Tools / Option / LibreOffice / Advanced, button Open Expert Configuration. Search Infobar, change in property ReadOnly value true to false (double click), then ā€œOKā€, ā€œOKā€. Restart LO.
