Office 97

[Bruce]

I have copied some Access 97 from work to update on my home PC, they install
OK but if I try to export them to Excel or another Access database it says
they are Read Only. However, I can't find that in Properties it shows
Archive.

Can anyone help?

Best Wishes

Right mouseclick on the files in Windows Explorer or My Computer, and view
Properties. Doublecheck the Read Only checkbox - I suspect it is in fact
checked; this happens if you copy a file to CD. It gets marked read-only and
copying it back to a hard disk doesn't reset the flag.
