Can't read networked db

I created an access 2003 db that resides on a ms 2003 server. When I try to
access it from one of the machines it says "read only" (machine #1) and i
can't edit or add any data. I access the same file from another machine
(machine #2) and it's fine.

I have looked at the files on the server and they (program and linked data)
are not read-only.

The only thing i can think of is when i first installed it on machine #1, and
when i first started it it complained about the macro security. I went into
macro -> security and lowered it as low as it would go. From that point the
db said read-only. I may have answered one of those questions wrong. It
feels
like a setting is wrong on Access (on machine #1) but i don't know how or
what to change.

No, security is not enabled on the machine.

Ensure that all users have full permissions on the folder on the server.

Macro security is not related to this.
