Database opens Read-Only -- how do I disable this?

[Deanne Kirillow]

I have checked database properties, and everything else
that seems appropriate to remove read-only property.
However I am still not able to update the database because
the property remains at Read-Only.
There is no user permission setup.
That database is split.
I have used the db previously with no problem.
The database is on our network but no one else is using
the file.
Any suggestions as to how I can remove this unwanted Read-
Only property?
Thank you.

Matter of permissions on your network? What happens if you place it local?

Check to see how much space you have on your network drive.
For the database to be Read/Write there has to be enough space
to create the .ldb file. If there isn't, the database will open Read-Only.
A reoccuring problem here.

1. Have you checked the Read-Only flag of the 2 MDB
*files*? Use Windows Explorer to check this as the flag
is a file property, NOT a database Property.

2. Do you have Create/Read/Write/Delete permission on the
2 directories where the MDB files reside? The reason you
need Create/Delete is that you need to be able to create
and to delete the LDB locking file.

If you are not familiar with network permission, get you
Network Admin to check it out for you.
