Read Only

[Heather]

Hello,

I created my MS Database on my C Drive - I am ready for people to use it so
I put it out on a Shared drive and now my Database is Read Only why?

I checked Properties - the Attributes is not checked for Read Only.

Can anyone tell me why my database turned into read only - it does not do it
for me when I open it?

Thanks

The most likely cause is that your users don't have Change permissions to
the host folder. There are a number of "best practice" steps you should
take to make your application multi-user, one of which is to split it. More
info here:

If you still have the problem once you've split your app and checked
permissions then post back.
