Can you run reports and queries from a read-only Access database?

I keep our database in read-only but one of the user says that it does her no
good because she cannot get the information in report form.

Nonsense. There's no problem getting data from a read-only database.

Of course, your user will not be able to create queries and reports in that
database, but that should be an issue, as each user should have his/her own
copy of the front-end, which doesn't need to be read-only.

Do you mean the database is read only or the directory in which it is
located is read only? As already noted, the user needs to have a front end
program to access the database to construct reports.
