Use zipped forms

S

Susan

I was using Access at another job and was able to get the forms template onto a disk so I wouldn't have to recreate it on another computer. Now when I try to use it it opens as a read only. How can I get to use the form to enter new data?

Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the template file. Right click on the
file. In the dialog that appears, go to near the bottom where it says Attributes
and uncheck Read Only.

This will happen when you copy a file from a CD. Just go
to the files properties and change the read only setting.
