Need help opening a database that only opens in read onlyWe have a database here that opens only in read only.
I checked folder/subfolder/database properties and none is set at read only. It says, "The database New Products is read only" I try opening it direct and through a shortcut and to no avail. It was on a shared network drive and never had this problem before. I tried copying it off the network and putting it on my PC. The boss and I checked permissions and everything looks fine. He's counting on me to find a solution. I browsed here once before about a similiar situation and found an answer. It told me to go to start/run path of access and something else after that. I searched for 2 hours now and can't find an answer! Please help! i am having the same problem as well. i created the database and it's put on
our server. i can open, modify, delete whatever i want on the database. however, if another user open the database, it says the database is read only, and when he clicks on the switchboard, it says cannot locate the file. please help!!! Did you ever get your problem solved?
I have sort of the same thing... If I open my secured, front-end back-end networked database on my system or one colleage's, (me 2000 and she xp, both with access 2003), logged into the network as me and logged into the database as me (my username and password), the database runs properly. But, a third person's system (xp w/ access 2003) if I log in to the network and then log into the database as me, a window pops up and says... Read-only.... Is this an access 2003 option ? What do you think? Thanks.. Steve PS I am not trying to double post, but maybe the individual users have "Notify me of Replys" checked.
