Opening Read-only DB message after upgrade to Office XP Pro

H

Hi, I just upgraded from Office 97 to XP Office Pro on one
of my desktops. Tried opening a .mdb file from My Network
Place but error message: "You are trying to open a read-
only database...The database file's read-only attribute
may be set; clear this attribute". So using MS KB article
324666 and going to my main desktop (which I have NOT
loaded XP Office Pro yet but still at Access 97) and
looking at a .mdb file's properties, the read-only
attribute was already cleared! What should I should I do
now? (of course, I dont want to upgrade to Office
XP Pro on my desktop thinking I may lose the .mdb files
forever)...
Thanks, Hal ([email protected])
