I maintain a site for my daughters girl scout community. The site is written
using Front Page 2003. We are running an online auction to raise money. The
code for the auction was given to me by a friend who wrore it in asp.net. The
link to the auction works fine. The only issue I am having is with the Access
DB that came with the code. When I try a function that would update it via
the site, I get a read-only error. I'm not sure how to make it read/write
(each 'bidder' must create a username/password). My site is hosted on
GoDaddy. Not sure if the problem is there or in the DB setup via Front Page.

Open the GoDaddy site in FrontPage and use File->Import to bring the
database into FrontPage. FP will offer to move the database to the fpdb
folder which will then have the correct permissions.
Then correct any references in the script to point to the correct
database or database connection string.

Make the same changes (or publish from Godaddy to your hard disc) to
your local copy.

Your web host needs to give the folder the database is in and the database
read and write permissions (usually to the IUSR account)
