Default READ ONLY

The DB I am creating resides in a shared file for my supervisor to see,
however, she can only see it in READ ONLY and cannot make changes. When I
look at the properties of the file, READ ONLY is NOT checked....where else do
I look to give her the ability to make changes to it?
Thanks!
Beth

Default READ ONLY

She needs to have the ability to create files in the folder where the
database resides.

Hi Beth
We have had similar problems with our software (Project Administrator) and
ended up putting together a document you can download and follow the pictures
to change permissions. You can download from
"http://www.projectperfect.com.au/downloads/PAComponents/Setting Permissions
on a Folder.pdf " That should help.
