Access on CD-Rom Read-only message

Andi

I want to run an Access mdb/mde from CD-Rom, because it
contains information I want to distribute, but the table
doesn't need to be changed or updated.
But every time I try to run it, I get the following
message:

The database '<databasename>' is read-only.
You won't be able to save changes made to data or object
definitions in this database.

How can I prevent Access to display the message?

Thanks for your reaction.

Hi, Andi.

One gets this message when opening a database with the "Read-only" file
attribute set. The only way to avoid it is to remove this file attribute.
One can do this by copying the database file from the CD to the computer's
hard drive, then removing the "Read-only" file attribute if the computer's
operating system is pre-Windows XP, and then opening the database from
there.

HTH.
