Access - read only

B

Billy Ray

I have an access 2003 database sitting on a file server. I am on the
only one who has access to this database. When I open it, I tell me
that it is "read only"

I have made a copy in the same directory and this database opens fine.

No changes were made to any of the permissions.

Does anyone have any idea on where I should go from here.

Check the DOS file attributes. In an explorer window, right-click on the
file name. make sure it is not locked.
If there is an .ldb file in the directory with the same name as your
database, delete it. It may be corrupted and that may be what is causing
the issue. Make sure that the database is closed before you delete the .ldb
file.

It does not appear to be locked and there is no .ldb file associated
with this database. Also, when I try to delete this copy, I get a
"sharing violation message, the source or file destination may be in
use"
