Read Only after importing 97mdb to 2K

[Mimi]

Hi-
I have imported an Access 97 mdb into A2K by using Get
External Data and choosing Select All for all my form,
queries, tables, etc. When I try to open this database
in A2K it says it is read-only. I don't know if it has
something to do with the system.mdw permissions or not,
but I would appreciate any help.

Also, Where do I set system and hidden table properties
to Visible. i saw this in a previous discussion and
noticed that when I imported to 2000, the size of the
file had decreased dramatically?

How do I create an unsecured database in A97?

THANKS FOR HELP IN ADVANCE!!
