Read only at startup

Hey guys

I have been working on a access app on my home network....everything works
great.. I wanted to install it on the server at work so i burned a copy on a
cd and took it to the office. Easy enough...but...........

When i open the database in the office, I get a read-only dialog box...

What did i do wrong?

Thanks
Steve

Files copied from CDs always have the read-only attribute set ON. Use
windows explorer, right-click the file, choose properties, and clear
the read-only attribute.
