Hi Wendy ,
My name is Michael Noto. Thank you for using the Microsoft Newsgroups.
As I understand, your converted database is read only.
Steps to remove read only on the file:
------------------------------------------------------------
1. Open windows explorer. (Start, programs, windows explorer.)
2. On the left side, browse to the folder that contains your MDB file and
click it once to select it.
3. On the right side, right click your MDB file and select properties.
4. On the General tab, near the bottom, we see the Attributes. Remove the
check from the read only check box if it is checked.
Or create a new database and import all objects. There may be refernces
missing if you do these steps and the startup options are not imported.
Import all objects from your old database.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Follow these steps:
1. With Access open, click File, New
2. Select database on the General Tab and click OK
3. Select location and a better name then db1, db2, etc. Click Create
4. We now have an empty database container. So we click File, Get External
Data, Import
5. The Import Objects window appears
6. We want to click 'Select all' for each Tab (Tables, Queries, Forms,
Etc..) then click OK.
7. There may be missing refernces if you do these steps.
