access database read only copy

[PAG1151]

I use Access DB, I created a template database for my employees to use.-which
is perfectly fine. But when I try to copy it to a CD (Sales Manaul) it
becomes a read only file.
How do I avoid this and end up with a fully usable DB as a template copy?

Whenever you copy a file to CD-ROM, the file's Read-Only bit gets set to
True (since you can't update files on a CD).

Some (most?) operating systems forget to set the bit back when copying back
to the hard drive.

Once you've copied the file from the CD-ROM to the hard drive, find the file
through Windows Explorer, right-click on it, select Properties and turn off
the Read-Only bit.
