Access 2003
I recently upgraded to Access 2003 for our network. Now, when I try to open
up our database, it opens in read-only mode. -- Leon Hagerty |

Leon,
It could be one of two things: Firstly, when you first opened up the database in Access 2003, you would have received a dialog box asking if you wanted to (a) convert the database, or (b) just open it without converting. If you chose (b), then Access may open it as read-only. In which case, you need to do the following: 1. Open Access, without opening a database. 2. From the Tools menu, select Database Utilities | Convert Database | To Current Access Database Version. Note: I don't have Access 2003 in front of me right now, so the actual menu item names might be different. 3. Browse to and select the database, and click OK (or convert, or whatever). 4. Now try to open the database. Secondly, if you copied the database from a CD, your pre XP operating system will have marked the file as read-only. Just open the file's properties and deselect the read-only checkbox.
