It may not be possible depending on the dBase OLE or ODBC connection properties. IIRC, some file-based datasources are always read-only. Check the documentation for your dBase driver. Barring this caveat, it is also possible that the dBase files are marked by Windows as read-only. This happens, for example, when files are copied from a CD onto the local HDD; Windows doesn't automatically uncheck the read-only property. Check the file properties by right-clicking the dBase file in Windows Explorer and choosing the "Properties" item from the context menu. -- Bob Hairgrove |
