That is, suppose you have "123" in a cell. Now the user types "456", the cell value will become "123456". How can I get quicktable to replace the old values without pressing 3 backspaces each time? That is, if the cell has "123", and the user types "456", I want the cell value to become just "456" (this is what happens in MS Access and MS Excel). 2) I have used table.getColumn(num).setReadOnly(true) to set some of the column as non-editable. But somehow it is not working as the users are still able to delete and edit values on this column (even though these values never get written to the underlying database but it still messes up the current display). Is there a fix?

This will affect the columns setReadOnly() method. If you want to make some columns editable and others non editable, then you have to call setEditable(true) first and then set the column which are non editable as setReadonly(true). By default quicktable is started with setEditable(true) Please refer to API of dbtable.setEditable() for more info.
