CHANGE READ-ONLY STATUS

[ANGIE]

i have a created a ms-access database. i haven't set up any start-up or security options.
i then copied the file to a cd-rewritable media and transferred (copied) the file to another computer. in this computer, however, i can only open the database as read-only! is there a way to solve this problem?

pls help me!

It is normal behavior for an Access database to become Read-Only when copied
to a CD. When you re-copy it to another hard drive, you will need to open
Windows Explorer, find the database and right-click on it. Select
Properties from the popup menu and, from the Properties window, uncheck the
Read-Only box.
