When you refer to "write protection", I don't suspect that you mean the general write protection from the files, but that your're refering to "allow move adding" - inside the GUI!?? In normal terms write protection deals with the files themself. "Alow move adding" is just a Chessbase precaution against accidentially manual adding of a move. Write protection itself is disabled when the book is imported to the harddisk - same as with the database. And, BTW, of course the stats isn't changed when you add a move - or a serie of moves - manually og import "games" _without_ results. Number of games(N) and the percentages(%) are only influenced by results. In both cases they are treated as variantions/single moves (but when adding moves manually, those are set as 'main moves' by default, which isn't the case if you use the 'Import games' feature).
