How can I back up my Access 97 database on a CD-RW?

[amastel]

I've been using Access 97 working at home for several years. I've now quit
(yay!) and my company would like to have this database back there. When I
try to copy it on a CD, it copies as "read only". Obviously, they would like
to be able to make changes to this database.

I also tried to back it up using the Microsoft backup utility, but it didn't
work at all, saying something like the path name was invalid and/or I didn't
have priviledges (I do have admin. priv. on my computer).

Thank you.

All files on CD are marked as "Read-Only". All they need to do is to copy
it onto the hard-disk and remove the "Read-Only" flag on the file.

Merry christmas!

How do they remove the "read only" flag on the file? Within Access or in "My
Computer"?

Thanks!

From "My Computer" (a.k.a. Explorer). They right-click the file name, select
Properties, and un-check the Read Only box.
