Normally it's simply a matter of right-clicking the file in Windows Explorer
or wherever, choosing "properties" and unchecking the "read only" box.

Assuming that the read only attribute is not set for the .mdb file
(right-click the file in Windows Explorer and choose Properties to examine),
the next thing to check is that full control is set for all users, for the
folder that the .mdb file is in. This means that all users who need to add or
change data must have RWCD privleges for the folder that the database is
saved in. See the following KB article for more details:
