This message is displayed whenever the UpdateAction variable is not set to
uaApplied within the UpdateRecord handler, regardless of the cause.
Unfortunately, Delphi doesn't attempt to pass information about the actual
error that occurred (if any) back through the callback mechanism.

The read-only "error" does not refer to anything that you've done.  Rather,
it refers to the original condition that caused the BDE to call the
UpdateRecord handler in the first place.  (Remember, your dataset is
read-only, which is why you are supplying your own posting routines.  When
the BDE believes that you've failed to apply the update yourself, it simply
tells you: "Hey!  This is a readonly dataset-- You need to apply the
updates.")
