Read Only Feature

I have a database that is stored on a network that others can
access. One employee trys to open it from the network and
gets the 'this database is read only' message. I have looked
on my end to see that the Options, Advanced tab says shared
not exclusive and she is still having trouble. We are a small
company and do not need high tech securiy features for our
sharing. What can I do to make the database ready so that she
can make changes and updates and use all the current queries
and reports?

Thank you for your help.

Does this user have read/write/create/delete rights to the
folder in which this database is saved?

If she doesn't have write access, she'll definitely get the
read-only message. Also if some of the users do not have create
rights, the second user trying to open this may get the same
message
