Well... not without more information I fear!

What error are you getting?
What version of Access are you using?
If it's 2007, is it installed in a "trusted location"? and does the database
contain any VBA code or macros?
How is it opening if not in "normal" format?

Access has no such feature or thing as a normal format.

If your database is opening read only, that indicates that some one else has
opend the database in exclusive mode. The File - Open dialog Open button has
a drop down for choosing the mode in which you open the database. You can
only make changes if you have it opened in Exclusive mode.

I hope that helps.

Correction: You can only make changes to database OBJECTS if you have it
opened in Exclusive mode. You *can* make changes to data in shared mode -
that's the purpose of shared mode.
